A/C System Replacement
I plan to replace the entire A/C system on my 1998, 3.9 Dakota. I bought the following parts from Rock Auto: evaporator (replaced that last year when I replaced leaking heater core), condenser, accumulator, orifice tube and compressor. The compressor came filled with 6.4 ozs
of PAG46 oil.
Reading the FSM it says to add 4 ozs of PAG oil to the A/C system when the accumulator is replaced and 1 oz. to the system when the condenser is replaced. Do I assume that the 6.4 ozs is the amount of oil that is needed for the compressor only and I should add additional oil (5 ozs) to the compressor for the other components? If there are any A/C experts out there, I can use your input.
