I would think that if there was 100 ml oil in it that at least something would have come out the ports when I did this. Also the rubber shipping plugs were dry on the inside.

There was no instruction sheet, only a sheet that told me that if the original compressor grenaded then I needed to replace the entire system since the condenser and evaporator are parallel flow designs and can not be flushed. But I already knew that...
that compressor is sold under many different names and is always shipped with almost no oil in it. It is always a good idea to fill and drain it. This compressor is drained like GM V5 compressors, you need to remove the sump bolt.
