Dear all, decided to have preventive maintenance done on my aircond. Went to Naidu's to vacuum out oil and gas (he has the machine now), change dryer (mine as not been changed since 2002) and refill oil and gas.
My aicond now is much more cooler and quitter.
Was told that the dryer acts like a filter to trap dirt and does need to be replaced every 60,000km - 80,000km.
Wanted to replace the compressor oil as well but he said need to open and will take more time. Most people don't replace compressor oil but it is good practice to do so.
I also read from other threads in this forum that some have disconnected the heater valve switch so the aircond is cold all the time. Asked Naidu about it and he said can be done, no problem but then the aircond is always maximum cold. In rainy days it might be freezing and have to switch off, then becomes stuffy, and often on and off of the aircond switch may spoil the switch.
Anyway, dear sifus, my question is, can the compressor oil can be vacuumed out and refilled without actually taking out the compressor, to save time and $$$?
Kindest regards.
