- a. Technician A only
- b. Technician B only
- c. Both Technicians A and B

Technician A says PVE refrigerant oil is com monly recommended for electric A/C compres sors. Technician B says PAG refrigerant oil can be used in many electric A / C compressors . Who is correct ?
1-While refilling an 8-quart (7.57 L) system with coolant: Technician A initially puts in 4 quarts (3.78 L) of straight coolant and tops it off with water. Technician B fills the system with the correct mixture, tightens the radiator cap, and then checks for leaks. Who is correct?
2-While checking for conditions that might cause coolant electrolysis: Technician A places the positive lead of a voltmeter into the coolant and connects the negative lead to a ground. Technician B checks for the presence of voltage in the coolant with the ignition off. Who is correct?
3-Technician A says that if the PCV valve or connecting hoses become clogged, excessive pressure will develop in the crankcase and can cause oil leaks. Technician B says that if the PCV valve or connecting hoses become clogged, oil may be pushed into the air cleaner or cause it to be drawn into the intake manifold. Who is correct?
4-While bleeding air from a cooling system: Technician A loosens a heater hose at its highest…
