The problems with synthetic oils are:
1. Synthetics are a great vehicle for the transfer of moisture.
Moisture introduced into the system will kill a compressor in less than 30 minutes. If you are not VERY careful, you WILL introduce mosture. And you WILL launch your compressor. You can bank on that.
2. Synthetics do not disipate heat as well as other oils. Insted, synths. tend to capture heat and store it, thus adding even more heat into an already hot environment.
If it were my money, I would replace the compressor. Because I wouldnt want to pay for 2 of them.
I have been working in this feild for the past 13 years, and have hundreds of hours of school just on the subject of automotive A/C. It is what I do for a living, and the living is good.
