Hi Ken / Joe,
I'm ready to install a replacement compressor, and filter/dryer but am getting mixed information on the capacity of Pag 46 oil it should have in it. 2010 Sport Trac 4.0 2WD no rear A/C.
It ships with 3oz installed, but naturally will drain that and start with fresh oil.
I read anywhere from 7 to 9oz Pag Oil?
And I get mixed information of filling; pour it all in the compressor, or add some to compressor, then condenser, filter dryer, evap, etc. If one pours it all in the compressor and starts it up it may damage the compressor?
And I plan on putting in some oil and letting it sit on the clutch end for a few minutes to get some oil around the seal to help lube it before startup.
I'm sure it is okay to add the oil at the start, then pull my vacuum on the system before recharge, and oil lost during vacuum is minimal?
