This isn't a 100% sure thing, USUALLY it's just a good idea. If you are going to put in a used compressor, then I'd just stick w/ the dryer that's already there.

If you care about the environment then yes, otherwise, grab some gloves and duck.
Maengelito Wrote:IWhen replacing the compressor, do I have to lubricate the system before it gets charged up or do those refrigerants contain the oil in them?
Depends on the refrigerant, just check and see if it includes oil.
Maengelito Wrote:IWhen I replace the compressor, do I change the dryer then, or wait until just before getting it recharged to replace the dryer?
Not sure that it matters, just keep the lines sealed until you are ready to hook it all up.
