I have an a/c information leak in my head from reading so much about car a/c!
Anyway, my question is about how much oil to put in my 1983 240D. I have a new compressor, dryer and expansion valve and am going to flush the system with mineral spirits and a air compressor before reinstalling.
Yes, I got a NEW R4 compressor, not a rebuild. And I am using R12 - I HAVe 5 cans of it and a quart of mineral oil.
The mercedes manual bit about aC specs is at this page -
http://skinnerbox.steaky.org/Service/W123/Index/Groups/83ClimateControlSystem.htm click on job 83-520 to see the specs. I don't understnad what it is saying. How much oil should I put where???? Yikes, I though this would be easier than this! If it s a new compressor, put 8oz in the compressor and 4 in the drier and be done with it??
Cheers!
