    I need to replace a leaking A/C Condenser on a 2013 Toyota Prius C One (damaged by rocks flying through the grill). The service manual calls for adding 40cc of ND-11 oil when condenser is replaced. Is it ok to use A/C Certified Pro R134a Hybrid Vehicle Electric A/C Compressor Refrigerant oil from Autozone ($17.99 for 7 oz) or Honda A/C Oil POE ND-11 from Ebay ($29.99 for 40cc)? Is there any difference between them?

    How much oil should I add? Is there a way to estimate how much oil has leaked out and how much is left in the system? Is there a danger of overfilling the system with oil if I add 40cc as the manual suggests?

    Thanks.
