Are you just oiling compresser?

amount of oil depends of what was flushed and what is replaced

I'll be replacing compressor , accumulator, and orifice tube, o-rings.

system 8oz oil if compressor came with oil pour out measure. put 5oz in compressor and 3 oz in accumulator. oil O rings vacuum down for at least 2 hr. then let system sit for 1 hr if Vacuum drops then have leak if holds charge 32 oz 134A

does it matter what orifice tube to use? fixed or variable.
May 12, 2012 at 12:01 PM
fixed will do fine

I look at accumulator and didn't notice how to inject oil. How is that done?

Yes must use PAG

Ok, I see some with dye, and without, with different viscosity. Does any of this matters
May 12, 2012 at 12:26 PM

What exactly are you flushing because that condenser is a bypass type and cannot be flushed.

Aww, there is tubes, one with a muffler and another without. The evaporator. Yes, I have researched and found different sites that say you can flush condenser and some say you can't. I have come to conclusion just to replace it. Let me know if I missed something? I appreciate it. Thanks.
