I'm replacing the condenser, drier, and orifice tube tomorrow, and after poring thru related FAQ text, am uncertain as to what I should use on the O-rings. My choices seem to be:

1. Mineral Oil (or mineral-based Vaseline?)
2. Reclaimed PAG (ester) from the old condenser?

Thinking that some of the FAQ info may be getting a bit dated, I decided to post this for the A/C gurus' current views on the subject.
