    The Ducane manufacturer has nothing to do with the oil in the A/C system compressor. Ducane does not make there own compressors and does not fill them with oil so you will have to find out the brand of Compressor in the Ducane unit. It should be a Bristol,Copeland or Tecumseh compressor. The compressor manufacturer fills the oil to the proper level at the compressors manufacturing plant. Contact Ducane OR contact the compressor manufacturer. When id doubt always contact the compressor manufacturer.
