Has anyone ever thought of or has done an oil analysis on their compressors? I’m a big fan of using Blackstone labs for engine oil and tranny fluid checks in our vehicles. The reports that come back are very thorough, and will show for sure if any coolant is mixing in with the oil, or metal par fragmentation is happening.
If any of you haven’t heard of Blackstone labs, just go on their website and tell them you want free test kit. You’ll get a box with 4 kits, and when you’re ready send in your fluid to be tested. It costs $25/test, and they will not only email you the results, but mail you a hard copy, also.
i think for sure at the next oil change on my Lightning I will send a sample in. I think for the owners of the compressors costing $1200 and up, this would be a good preventative maintenance move.
