AC oil capacity

Hi all,

My car started making noise from the AC compressor. Changed the AC compressor and dryer as per mechanic recommendation.

After a week, the compressor started to make noise again but you barely can hear it. I believe they mechanic did not fill the AC system with the correct amount of oil.


Should I get another compressor ? Or just fill the current one with oil ?

How much does the AC system oil needs ? Is it filled only in the compressor or also charged with the R134 ?

thanks

Without knowing what your mechanic did, *if* the system was completely replaced and flushed, it would take 120 cm3 of oil. The other quantities are for replacing individual parts without flushing the entire system.

system is completely flushed, only compressor and dryer replaced. So its 120cm3.
