How much PAG oil to add for hose replacement?
The fittings on the valve for my Killer Chiller sprung a leak and let out all of my refrigerant and an unknown amount of the oil from the AC system. How do I know how much oil to add back in during recharge? I'm also installing a new drier if that matters.

I am not a mechanic but that compressor is used in a lot of merc applications -- this link says 5 oz - that would be for new - your system already has an oz floating around from the prior charge spread on all the remaining components --

Thanks bbirdwell! As always you are a Gentleman and a Scholar. ;-)
It looks like 20cc for the suction line and another 20cc for the drier, for a total of 40cc or 1.35 fl. oz.
Next question; should I put 20cc in the compressor and the other 20cc directly into the drier? Or just put it all in the compressor. Or do I need to have the A/C technician add it via the service port when adding the refrigerant?
