A/C oil replacement

Was flushed at a local shop. I was suppose to change the expansion valve but it was just too much work.

Regarding the oil capacity, the service manual says if replacing the condenser with new to add 1.4 oz.

For the compressor it says the capacity is 3.52 oz + 0.53 oz. Why the plus, am not sure. So I added somewhere on the middle

 

Don’t worry at least you’re not under because there’s plenty up in the evaporator

 

Hi guys, but where in the compressor do you put the oil compressor? By the discharge hose or suction hose hole at the compressor ?

 

Where exactly did you insert the ac compressor and do you have the link where did you buy? Thank you

 

Ebay used was like 35 bucks


I mean as for inserting it...



It's on the passenger side near the bottom of the engine

You'll need to remove the plastic shielding underneath


Real pain to get in there

Put the car on jack stands of possible and get as much room as you can to work


Pretty straightforward taking it off


But getting it off is the hard part.

 

Bought it from a local salvage yard for $75. The oil is inserted directly into the bigger hole on the compressor before installing
