Car auto air conditioning adding oil to system and how much



You can test your system to see how much oil in present see our post here 


You can find the specs for your car and it will tell you the amount of refrigerant needed and the amount of oil needed.

If you recover the refrigerant from the system and change a component within the system then you need to add oil here is a rough guide to amounts of oil needed.

Minor system leak ( pressure switch shut off compressor ) 0.5 oz

Accumulator  1.5 oz

Condenser  1 oz

Evaporator   1 oz

Receiver drier    0.5 oz
