Summary of Oil Management Considerations MO99™ excels in most Residential A/C, Commercial A/C, and Refrigeration These considerations are true for ANY “No Oil Change” product Use of any 400-series retrofit blend is not recommended in systems with flooded evaporators SystemGuidance More complex systems with potential for challenging oil return Long pipe runs and/or poor line velocity design Liquid receivers but no oil separator present ~20% POE addition Trane™ 3-D™ Scroll / Danfoss Scroll Replace Oil in Compressor Sump with POE Screw compressors Detailed system evaluation recommended
