Recommended Refrigerant Oil by adanny01(op): 3:23pm On Sep 08, 2021
So am about to change some A/C parts in my car. I got the oil recommendation from the service manual shown below.

From the recommendation and the parts i am changing, a total of 70ml is what is recommended to be added for

Condenser 25ml
Dryer 25ml
Line 10ml
Leakage 10ml.

My leak is on the discharge pipe from compressor to condenser. I recently started to notice oil on the pipe and had been losing gas. The last recharge didn't last a week and the pipe is completely wet will oil.

I am just a little scared knowing that too little oil risk the compressor seizing up while too much oil reduces cooling.

I am tempted to put 50 or 60ml instead of the 70ml. What do you think? In fact, i want to settle for 55ml. Neither full nor short.

Yeah right.

I couldn't get the pipe locally new or toks. So i proceeded to do it the kazeem way, weld. I took out the pipe and it was dripping oil. Its very obvious that if that short pipe is dripping so much oil, i guess the recommendation is right so 70ml it is.
