Hi,

I am replacing the A/C compressor on the wife's clk430 soon, as the old compressor is leaking oil. I know the normal procedure is to drain and measure the old compressor's oil to know how much to use in the new compressor. Since the old compressor is leaky, I am thinking that this is not enough. Does anybody know how much oil should be added?

I have been able to find that the drier replacement should take 1.7oz, but the compressor is still a concern.

thanks in advance.
