Think that you got the quantities for refrigerant and oil mixed up. According to Bentley, Refrigerant R-12 (50.75 oz) Refrigerant oil (which is separate item): evaporator 2.02 oz accumulator 0.3 oz high pressure hose 0.3 oz low pressure hose 0.3 oz compressor only takes 5.07 oz If you use Refrigerant R134a, you are supposed to put only about 9 oz of oil in the compressor Harald '90 westy |
