AC Oil

[Andy White]

I Am Replacing my AC Condenser On my 1995 Chevy Truck Z71. I Remember when I was in college that there are specs. on how much Oil to put in the system when replacing different components. But I don’t know how much oil to add in since im done with college for the summer. so does anyone know how much pag oil to put into the system when replacing the AC Condenser.

You need to know the viscosity of that oil also.

2 OZ is pretty standard for an AC Condenser

Here is a chart that goes over this very thing

“When replacing the following components, add the amount of oil indicated to the new component.
Accumulators on any System 3 ozs
Condensers on any System 2 ozs
Evaporators on Chrysler Systems 2 ozs
Evaporators on Ford & GM Systems 3 ozs
Receiver Driers on any System 1 oz
Sudden Hose Failure 2 oz”

Add the same amount you drain from the old condenser.
