One thing to point out, if just your compressor went out and you did NOT have a refer leak, you can reuse the R143a. If you had vented it, it would be venting $ in the air. Especially with refer prices these days
Best I remember, the refrigerant is about $1 an ounce. But if a shop pulls ti out, you have to BUY your refrigerant back form them.....at least around here....
you are going to need 1.875lbs of refridgerant to refill the system if you do it yourself. when you buy the cans it comes in ounces. youre going to need 30 ounces to get a proper refill.
Check the refrigerant you got. If it has oil in it. just put a little bit in the compressor, for initial lube. The rest will come in with the refrigerant.
