ac system oil capacity

What is the total oil capacity on the ac system? I used to know but i cant find it now

 

Compressor: 5.28 oz
Condenser: 1.4oz
EVAP: 1.4oz

 

I don,t think that is right https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/pag-oil-capacity.504661/

Well, the compressors come with 150 ml (a little over 5oz of oil). And then the manual says this:



Compressor sticker:

 

what year is that compressor?

 

2007. 2010 should be pretty close within 0.5 oz.

 

from 2008 to 2009 they went up 0.5 so yes they are close, i think the 150 ml on the sticker is the amount for the whole system

 

thanks for the input shmn it,s all a lot to learn

 

It may be. Manual isn't definitive but it can be read as "if you replace just the condenser, install new one with 1.4oz of oil since that is what may have been in the old one". I read it as 5oz+1.4+1.4. Not 100% sure what the correct answer is.

 

5.6 oz PAG 46 according to Mitchell.

 

where is the best place to add oil ? i was thinking the suction line before the compressor, the compressor comes with 140 cc + or - 10 cc of oil so i need to add 25 to 30 cc, but the EVAP is staying so i guessing i need to subtract 41 cc for that

 

Are you rebuilding the system?

I usually put it all in the compressor when I rebuild a system, you just have to remember to rotate the compressor clutch a few revolutions after you connect the lines to clear the cylinders and prevent hydro-locking it on initial startup.

 

i just read about that, boy that would suck blowing up the compressor right at the start

 

ya the whole thing but EVAP, the compressor is in the truck now with the plugs still in so i could test the motor

 

Make sure you pull a good vacuum on it when your done before you charge it and don't use that refrigerant with stop leak in it, I've seen too many A/C systems killed by that stuff.

 

yes sir, going to give it a good leak down test too, a good hour or so

 

getting close to getting this thing back on the road after 4 years it seem kind of surreal

 

post script salt is bad!
