What is the final step in the process of adding oil to a system?

The final step in the process of adding oil to a system involves replacing the oil fill plug, running the compressor, and rechecking the oil level. This step is crucial because it ensures that the oil is circulating properly throughout the system and that the correct amount of oil is present after the addition. Running the compressor allows you to observe if the system is operating as expected, and it also helps to identify if there's any need for further adjustments to the oil level.

By rechecking the oil after the system has been run, you can determine if the new oil has integrated properly with the existing oil or if there are any issues that need to be addressed, such as leaks or improper functioning of the components. This process not only ensures that the system is adequately lubricated but also helps maintain optimal performance and longevity of the HVAC/R system.

Other actions in the initial stages, such as checking for leaks or documenting the maintenance performed, are important, but they come before this final step and are part of the preparation or follow-up rather than the concluding procedure in the oil addition process.
