    I seem to remember a thread on here regarding alternatives to POE oil. And if memory serves, all were much susceptible to breaking down due to moisture. One or two of the alternatives would absorb the moisture, but not be affected by that moisture.

    And the reason those oils were not commonly used was solely due to price. So, what does this oil cost per gallon, after the shipping costs.
    I do a triple evac with nitro to remove non condensables.

    It would probably cost more than the vehicle I drive just to ship it from Australia from what I've heard about about International shipping.

    I'm tired of these mediocre "semi flammable" refrigerants. If we're going to do it let's do it right.
    Unless we change direction we are likely to end up where we are going.
