Compressor Replacement What is the correct oil amount? 10 ounces of oil (grey area) When the compressor is delivered to the vehicle assembly plant all the oil is contained in the compressor. 10 ounces in this example. The other system components are dry, no oil.

How much oil do you put in a new AC dryer?

Registered. 1 oz., added into the dryer before it goes on is better, but if that is too late, let the vacuum pump suck it in.

How much oil do you put in a car AC system?

The total system oil capacity for many late model passenger car A/C systems is only about 4 ounces (120 ml). A low oil level can starve the compressor for oil and lead to compressor failure. CAUTION:Do NOT overfill the the A/C system with too much compressor oil. Too much oil can hurt cooling performance.

What type of oil do I use in my air conditioner?

Most 1996 and newer A/C systems use R134a refrigerant and require some type of PAG (polyalkylene glycol) oil for the compressor.

Do I need to change the oil in my air conditioner?

What kind of oil do you use in a universal air compressor?

“Universal” A/C compressor oils are often PAO-based and are not the same viscosity as the PAG oil recommended for a specific type of compressor. This can lead to poor lubrication and premature compressor failure. Newer vehicles with R-1234yf A/C systems require a special 1234yf compressor oil specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
