That's what I love about the Nikon system - I can use lenses from the
original Nikon F on the current digital full frame bodies. They mount
directly with no adapter, or anything. The old manual lenses are very cheap
now as well - you can get excellent glass for a fraction of the cost in the
film
Someone on the peach parts forum also recommended adding some Ester oil to
"bridge" the two.
I'd prefer to run the propane / butane Envirosafe stuff, so maybe the mineral
oil will be ok in that regard.

You probably won't find any information for anything but R134a in automotive
use, it's the standard since 1992 or 1993, and no automotive system uses R12 or
anything else from the factory. Not system newer than then will have any
recommendation for mineral oil
Ester oils were the magic ones
I need to get smart on the oils. For about ten years, The White Whale was
fine with PAG-46 and r134a or with EnviroSafe 12 (propane / butane).
I have sent an email to the Envirosafe folks to see which oil they
recommend.

Peter - I was under the impression that PAG is "universal" and can be used
with either r12 or r134. The FSM calls for oil from sheet 362, which only
has one oil listed (MB-brand) which I suspect is Denso ND-Oil 8, which is
equivalent to PAG-46.
I've purchased several bottles of mineral oil over
If you are using propane "test" refrigerant, you need the mineral oil, anything
with R134 needs the PAG or ester base oil -- PAG is too polar for propane, and
mineral oil isn't polar enough for R134a
In either case you are risking a compressor failure due to lack of lubrication,
I'd make sure
I have always suspected the real issue is that the manufacturer wants to sell
all new plastic craptastic lenses rather than include the necessary linkages to
use old lenses on the new digital bodies.
And until recently, you could sell a junk lens too, the sensor resolution was
so low a high
I believe oil which isn't refrigerant miscible leaves the compressor and
doesn't come back.
The refrigerant is supposed to carry it back to the compressor.
It probably ends up internally insulating the condenser.
Your 134A will circulate the PAG, but I think the mineral stuff is just getting

Does the PAG-46 oil circulate with the refrigerant, and the mineral oil
mostly remain in the compressor?
I'm wondering if I should just remove and drain the compressor, maybe flush
out the condenser, install new drier and correct PAG-46 oil, re-charge and
go.
