Hi,

Actually, I am working on a 2009 Pontiac G3 Hatch. Believe it is an Aveo 5 twin.

I have replaced the Compressor, Condenser, and the Expansion valve. Flushed the lines before adding new parts.

I have no stickers under the hood that give me the amount of Freon or A/C oil that should be in the system.

Is it possible to get those amounts (in oz.)?

Thanks

Hello,

You will need 18 oz of R134a Freon and 6.8 oz of PAG oil.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.

Hi Sean,

Thank you for your quick reply. I will be able to finish the job now. There wasn't a sticker under the hood. I did find the oil amount listed on the compressor. Knowing the Freon amount is better than guessing.

Thanks again. This is very helpful.
