Oversizing can cause short cycling, which is hard on the unit and leads to less effective moisture removal.
EPRs and Rack Refrigeration w/ Matthew Taylor
Q: Does the EPR opening and closing affect the TXV or whatever metering device you have on regulating superheat?
The EPR changing pressure will change the PT chart in relation to that superheat, but that superheat will settle to exactly the same setting it was.

Q: How often do you change the oil?
It's as needed, not on a regular schedule but should be checked at least once a year.
