R-22 is a gas ued in the air conditioning. there is no oil in the R 22 gas. The gas when circulated in the compressor it come in contact with the oil which is present inside the compressor used as a lubricant.
I think that it's olive oil, but I/m not sure
no. it is not a good idea. new hfc refrigerants require a different type of oil than the R22 units. the new refrigerants typically run at higher pressures than the R22 units.
No
Alot
Most new equipment is built for and charged with R410a, a refrigerant with much higher pressures than the R22 used for decades, R22 units are still available, dry charged however, you must fill them with R22 onsite. This is how new R22 compatible equipments being sold still.
if the timing chain and tensioners are worn out the chain will wear a hole in the timing cover and the oil will get into the water jacket and the antifreeze will get into the oil high time to fix it
Absolutely not ... R410 operates at much higher pressures than R22, and mixing would do nothing but contaminate both refrigerants (and possibly mess up your system)
Current price depending on location $40-60 per lb.
New, i think it is £105,000 for an R22. Yes about 3,00,000 USD.
Wal-Mart do not have r22 freon, this is a false ad.
Your AC won't work any better than it did before. Two very different refrigerants, which will not blend, with different superheat points and system pressures. Not to mention that R22 won't carry PAG oil through the system as effectively as 134a, meaning you could end up starving your compressor of lubricating oil, thus burning it out.
No
