Found out something wild about old fridge compressors
I was reading a service manual from 1982 for a Sears Coldspot model. It said the original oil charge in the compressor was only 8 ounces. I always thought they held way more than that, even back then. I found the manual in a box of old papers from a retired repair guy I bought tools from. Does anyone know if that small amount was common for units from that era?
