hi

I can perform all of that with my snap-on air conditioner, but oil levels perplex me. The original compressor claims to have a 240cc oil capacity. Can I use the complete 240cc after draining and refilling the compressor? The total system weighs 7.75 oz, according to the FSM.

When you drain the oil the machine will catch it in a separate container, add in the amount that comes out

These forums come up in Google searches and help countless others. Saying the original poster is no longer around is thinking that person is the only person being helped with this issue. If a 5 or 10 year old post receives new comments on it then that's just proof it's still a valid topic to discuss and it's still helping people
