[DeTomaso] A/C oil quantity???

Database says:
 
The total Pantera AC system requires ~ 8 oz of oil in ~ 1.2 kg  (2.64 lbs) 
of refrigerant. This gives 5.28 oz of refrigerant for 1 oz of oil ……  a 16% 
oil mixture.
 
With a Sanden SD508 AC compressor, the total system requires 7-8 oz  of PAG 
oil per the Mastercool Service manual. Sanden says 7.2 oz.

All,

My new evaporator is now installed, new drier in place  and ready to charge.

Looking for your thoughts on how much oil I need  to add. I'm planning a 2 
1/2 pound R-12 fill for the system.

It blew  off the high side hose at the compressor returning from Monterey 
last year  and
no doubt blew out a lot of oil. But how much???

I'm thinking of  adding in the range of three to five ounces.  Your  
thoughts?

Thanks,

Larry
