    I’m not sure if your video mentioned this but you need the check the oil level in the off cycle of each circuit. According to Trane if the analysis comes back ok and your pressure differential across your filter is ok then they suggest you leave the oil alone. I guess you’ll have to see what the lab says about your darker sample. Great video! 👍

      I didn't mention that it has to be off. It was, but good point by you. It also has to sit for at least 10 minutes after being off before you take the sample too. Thanks for including that information I forgot to mention. Sometimes it's easy to forget to mention all the small details that are also important.

    Yep, there’s something going on there… oil should look like Pee not Tea 🤣. Thanks for the video!

    Great video! Never seen that handy trick with the sight glass for oil level. Definitely curious how the test results come back for the dark one.

      I'm curious as to the results myself. Looks like it was cooking a bit

    So why wouldn't they put a min and max level sight glass on the separator instead of having to do all that messing around with the hose and all that ? I don't get it .

      Great question...I agree 1000%. Seeks like Trane misses the boat on that with a lot of equipment....other than their low pressure centrifugals...which has an oil pump. Thanks for watching.

      @HEFTYLEFTY303 totally agree. I know trane sells one. Don't have the part # to order it. The counter guys....are shall we say...less than helpful. Thanks for the comment
