Hello,
Was watching your YouTube videos. I am replacing a few parts on my car for the air conditioning due to age and the compressor is starting to become noisy. This is preventative maintenance.
I am unsure of how much compressor oil (mine takes PAG 100 R134a) to add to the components during this recharge. I am replacing the compressor, condenser, drier/accumulator, and the expansion valve. I will evacuate, replace parts, and recharge. My compressor comes pre-filled with R134a oil.
I asked a technician at the Subaru dealership how much compressor oil I should add on top of that. He said nothing, the compressor and what is used to refill comes with enough oil. However, I was reading online, and guys think that you should add 1 ounce for every component that is replaced.
I was wondering what your thoughts might be.
Thanks,
Gabriel
