[DeTomaso] Oil and R134A capacity for Sanden SD508 AC system

[Don Thomas]

Total system capacity with the Sanden 508 is 7-8 oz.   The compressor will have 4-6 oz, and about an ounce or more per component. ie.: condenser, evaporator or dryer.

If you are seriously looking at doing this yourself, I would get the Mastercool Basic Service manual for Automotive Air conditioning.  You can get that manual at ACKITs.net.

Also check out the pantera Wiki for more detailed information on AC specific to the Pantera.  I have been doing a lot of AC research over the past year and updated the Pantera AC wiki pages.

I hope that helps.

I also need to know about how much R134A freon should be required. The system has the stock evaporator and condensor. It previously had a rotary compressor with R12 as the cooling medium.
