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.
