Hdj81 ac

I’m getting ready to replace my ac condenser as it was leaking and replace my dryer as well. I have the pump to vacuum down the system and plenty of r12 to refill my question is how much mineral oil to use as well. I’m hearing about 4oz should be plenty. Any help would be appreciated !!!

Best to call an AC shop and ask, its similar if not same to an FJ80. Is it on the sticker under the hood? I replaced my condenser and dryer as well. When I got the guys to refill it they put new-style fittings on top of the compressor and they leaked. Proper shops can still service the old style fittings, try and keep them.

When I replaced my compressor, condenser, and dryer, I put in one 8oz bottle. So leaving the original compressor I would think 4oz sounds about right. I don't think it's an exact science, just as long as you have enough to keep the compressor lubed.

Do you have the factory center console fridge? That would increase the size of the AC system, and may affect how much oil you should add. I'm no AC tech, just something to consider.

No I don’t have the fridge console, I’m going to shoot for 4oz, and go with that. I would imagine hsthll have to introduce the oil through the dryer
