Bowman, I have a question. I have a watercooler, anyhow I'm going to be making a phase change block, somewhat like the one you made. My question is this, the compressor is currently charged with R12. I plan on discharging the system, making the modifications (adding the block etc) and then recharging the system with some new R12 (I have two brand new canisters). I have the oil which is used with R12, but do I have to add some when I recharge the system, or will oil have been added from the factory... or by the watercooling company, since the system had been charged with R12?

well normaly i would say dont worry about the oil ,but since you already have some.add about 1/2 oz. of new oil.this will bring back the oil to close to full.when you are discharging the system do it very slowly.this will keep the oil in the system and not pull it out with the refridgerant.
