Rebuilding AC System (2nd Gen) 2008 Tacoma 4.0 V6

I am rebuilding my entire AC system in my 2008 Tacoma 4.0 V6 as I bought it without one. Both high and low pressure lines, condenser, and compressor are all being replaced. I need to know how much PAG oil to add to a completely dry system before installing everything as I am anxious about how it will go. If anyone can give me any information, it would really help a lot. Thanks!

Do note that most new compressors come with oil, some have a tag stating how much but others you have to pour it out and measure it.

What about the evaporator and expansion valve? Are you replacing those? If not I'd at least pull the expansion valve screen out and check it for debris.

 

Thanks for the information! This helps a lot! I will be using A/C Pro Flush System cleaner as well as compressed air to clean out the condenser then seal it off with paper towels until its time to install new lines.

You will need to remove the expansion valve to flush the evaporator.
