I have been told by my A/C guru that the r-134 is the agent by which the oil in the ac system gets moved around.
If you are low in R-134 it would seem that correspondingly less lubrication will be supplied to the compressor?
Perhaps a $5 shot of R134 would help to extend the life of that compressor, which is worth saving right?
BTW if you do fire that Compressor up and it starts making any noises other than what you used to hear when it was 100% shut it down.

last year it was working fine as I needed it, this year its blowing less cool and making a little noise. I suspect I have low pressure due to a small leak as well.
Will get it recharged eventually but not driving it now anyway and we have had unusually cooler temps this year, but overall for the price of the ebay compressor I have no regrets.
