AC oil

You do not understand that the compressor oil and the oil in the lines is separate. They do not intermix.

5.5 in the compressor. You will have some remaining in there. That is why I told you less since it is not new.

As far as the rest of the system, those figures are for when you replace the system with all new parts, that is what you would ad to the refrigerant when you charge it.

You are overthinking this situation.

Just drain the compressor and add the oil.

Roy

I understand but the compressor has its own oil. The Freon system has its own.

If what they are saying is true, then you could add the oil in the Freon system and it will go to the compressor, which it does not.

Roy

You have a total in the compressor which is six ounces.

Then you have the rest of the system which is around five or so. The grand total is around eleven ounces, but the oil is not shared between the compressor and the Freon system.

Roy

Okay.

You need to add six ounces of oil. Use only Pag oil.

When you recovered the Freon, how much oil was removed? There should be very little if any.

Roy

What?

Do not understand.

Okay, there is a tool for removal, but there is no tool to remove it with pressure in the system. You must recover the Freon to replace the valve.

It looks like a tire valve remover tool.

Roy

No, it will not. It is a dust cap not a pressure cap. It will blow it off eventually.

Roy

Okay, I have never seen that before but it looks like a very time saving tool.

I would definitely give it a try.

Roy

Yes, pressures are good.

You are welcome.

Roy

What he is saying is there is liquid Freon not oil in the system.

That is his way of doing it. I would not do it that way but it is okay. It is just another way of bleeding down the lines.
