I am replacing the A/C Compressor. I am adding the oil into the Compressor as specified. When I go to put a vacuum back on the system will it pull the oil back out.

Hi,

It won't draw the oil from the compressor. It will draw air from the system. I don't know if it is needed, but here is a link that explains how to replace the A/C compressor. Take a look at it and let me know if you have questions.

Take care,
