[DML] Re: A/C Oil Quantity?



The sankyo(sanden) compressor is a big compressor (10 cubic in) The 
compressor should have at least 7 but not more than 10 oz of oil in 
the system. In a dry system I use 9 oz of oil because of the extremely 
long lines and a large amount of freon. The accumulator will hold 
excess oil as long as you don't have too much. I put half in the 
compressor and half in the accumulator to start a dry system.

R-12 calls for mineral/500 oil, with 134a you should use PAG/100 
(Synthetic). The orifice tube is the same - be sure to put in a new 
one and always use a new accumulator when the system has been broken 
down and exposed to air. R-12 use 2.25 - 2.5 lbs of freon; R-134a use 
90 percent of that. pressures with 134a will be about 5-10 percent 
higher.
