In this increased profits world do they now make you buy your own oil to fill the system?

Good question. The compressor was shipped and marked "filled with oil" and no further oil was needed for the system. However in the first leak I had, one of the rear fittings had to be removed from the compressor and quite a bit leaked out since the system did have a small charge on it. I did put 2 oz back in the system during the charge.
In about 75-80 degree weather here I had 50 psi on the lo side and 200 on the hi side. So far so good. I won't really know how well it works until the road test.
Anything I should look for, or do now, other than look for leaks and make sure the charge is good?
