How much oil is in the AC compressor and the other components when it leaves the factory?
I replaced the AC compressor, accumulator, condensor and evaporator in 2008.
However, i do not recall putting oil in the other components other than the compressor.
Also, what type of oil is recommended, as i have retrofitted to R134...
