Can you put pag46 oil in a dryer?
You can add oil (PAG46) directly to the components, or pick up a 1-2oz freon/oil charge for when you recharge it. Ok I replaced the condenser and the dryer. Put an ounce of oil in the dryer. Replaced the o-rings.
What happens if I mix Pag 46 with PAG 150?
Eventually, this could cause the compressor to fail. PAG 46, PAG 100 and PAG 150 oils all have different viscosities, just as 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W40 motor oils have different viscosities. You should not intermix different viscosities because the viscosity of the mixture may be “out of range” for the appliction for a number of reasons.
What’s the viscosity of Pag 46 motor oil?
PAG 46, PAG 100 and PAG 150 oils all have different viscosities, just as 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W40 motor oils have different viscosities. You should not intermix different viscosities because the viscosity of the mixture may be “out of range” for the appliction for a number of reasons.
Do you have to use PAG oil for an A / C compressor?
“Universal” A/C compressor oilsare often PAO-based and are not the same viscosity as the PAG oil recommended for a specific type of compressor. This can lead to poor lubrication and premature compressor failure. Newer vehicles with R-1234yf A/C systems require a special 1234yf compressor oilspecified by the vehicle manufacturer.

What can be used as a substitute for PAG oil?
PAO (Polyalphaolefin) oil can sometimes be used as a substitute for certain PAG oils if the compressor manufacturer approves it. CAUTION: PAG oils should NEVER be used in hybrid vehicles because it is electrically conductive.
