    Jim,
    I would not recommend isolating the compressor from the system to add oil unless you draw down the compressor under vacuum to remove the air and moisture that you introduce by opening the system. In order to repair the compressor, change or top up the oil you must place the compressor under vacuum to remove air and moisture introduced during repair.

    Your right on that Lee, I was not trying to "tell how" just wanted anyone to know it could be done and to not open the system to add oil. One should see a pro with all the special tools and knowledge on this.
