hi guys, im wondering whether changing the oil fluid in car aircon compressor is necessary.
it started off from googling why car is slightly underpower when aircon is turned on, and not during the aircon is off.
some of them pointed out is due to the lubricant in the aircon compressor, and it needed to be lubricated once in a while.
so does changing the lubricant in the aircon compressor really necessary and reduce the friction between the engine and the aircon compressor??

QUOTE(bsl555 @ Nov 24 2015, 08:52 PM) There's always compressor oil of a specified amount within the refrigerant system, don't matter whether its your home fridge, room aircon or even car aircon. The common conventional domestic refrigeration appliances and car air-conditioning all depend on compressor oil within for lubricating the compressor in operation. Therefore, whenever there's refrigerant leakage or system is evacuated, there's surely some oil loss in the process, not all. Its therefore required to add some (only a few cc) oil to make up for the loss. In event of a total stripdown of the compressor, the installer have to fill specified amount of the right type of oil, vacuum and recharge the system. The compressor would eventually wear down, become noisy or fail if there's no oil in the system. so till the end, does replacing the oil necessary?

QUOTE(eligible @ Nov 24 2015, 10:31 PM) Is true when aircon is on, car is underpower. It also depends what is your car's C.C. indeed. my car is civic fd 1.8, 1800cc kinda high mileage, about 240k km. im not sure if its due to aging engine or what, but the basic maintenance like engine oil and atf has been done each 10k km.
