Following AC compressor advice
Hey guys, i have been working on the ac compressor so i can get my ac working back again ! so i got the ac compressor off today and the fluid that came out was green and their wasent much--probably about an once! or so if anything! Well i have the new compressor and i have been adding oil through this hole
picture http://home.earthlink.net/~egutie6970/images/compressor.JPG i have added 8 onces although i have rinse it and turn it upside down and twisted so some oil is comming out so i should have about 5 onces or so. The compressor i took off is made by GM and its identical to the one i have and it says to add 10 onces of oil...should i follow the compressors advice or MB'z funny thing is it's the orginal compressor. Well when i twist the clutch oil spits out from the hole next to the hole i have been adding oil---i dont think i should worry tooo much if i addeda bit extra oil since i changed the condenser as well...well at least i hope so ! well i want to know your guys advice opinion before i put it back together! btw tomorrow i get transmission from the shop so i'll have to put that in ! Oh and i have been doing this under the car ! looks pretty good so far! putting undercoat !! http://home.earthlink.net/~egutie6970/images/undercoat.JPG

Remember that oil is also present in the drier, evaporator and condenser.
I do not know if the total amount in the system should be 10 oz, but if you put 10oz in the compresor you should have another 2 or 3 in the system, making a total of 12-13 oz. I would wait until someone with more knowledge posts a reply(Larry Bible, MBDOc, stevebfl, etc...) Or perhaps a search can help you find the answer.

hmm thanks for the advice ! i dont think my evap is clooged or anything since the compressor/ac system hasent had r12 in ages sooo i'm pretty sure its okay and about 2 years ago i think it was replaced but no r12 was added thats why im shocked that the compressor is gone since it was working fine before that. I went to the shop to get r12 and the compressor was making funny noises so they said thats mest up oh well..im going to put it in hopefully everything works out --since i have the worse luck with cars
