A/C Lubricant for Better Performance, Durability

ROC Oil from Cliplight Manufacturing is compatible in any ratio with all lubricants and won’t absorb moisture like PAG and ester lubricants. ROC Oil’s low miscibility means more lubrication stays in the compressor and less travels with the refrigerant, reducing the chance of starving the compressor of lubrication – especially in the event of refrigerant loss. ROC Oil offers quick ‘pull down’ times, lower vent temperatures, reduced compressor load and run times and better compressor durability.
