Will Compress Shield work in a new unit/compressor?

Compress Shield
Yes. A typical unit/compressor loses 2%-4% efficiency per year. Compress Shield will help maintain the system’s peak efficiency and its lubrication properties will reduce wear and tear, hence increasing the life of the unit/compressor. Older units tend to have oil built up within the system that robs them of efficiency. Compress Shield eliminates that in old systems and prevents it from developing in new systems.
