Not in such a clear wording but it tells you that due to loss of oil from the change over you should replace it with ester oil. Buyer beware.

Drop in replacement...80% R134 !!!
Are you sure about that? It has been awhile since I looked at mine but I believe it is 2.9 lbs and that the 123 300Ds were 2.6 lbs.

It is best to slightly underfill the system than overfill it.
