Oil Changes

Carrier recommends changing the oil after the first year of operation and every three years thereafter as a minimum in addition to a yearly oil analysis. However, if a continuous oil monitoring system is functioning and a yearly oil analysis is performed, time between oil changes can be extended.

To Change the Oil

1.Transfer the refrigerant into the condenser (for isolatable vessels) or a storage tank.

2.Mark the existing oil level.

3.Open the control and oil heater circuit breaker.
