[DeTomaso] A/C Compressor oil capacity question

[Don Thomas]

The mastercool service manual states that if you replace individual components use the following amount of oil when replacing:

Condenser - 1 oz
Receiver Drier - 1 oz
Evaporator - 3 oz

So 3 oz sounds like the right amount to me... if you are not replacing any of the above...

Also...

Take a look at : http://panterawiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Ventilating%2C_Heating_and_Air_Conditioning

The wiki is a bit slow... but that will point you to more information.

Best regards,
