How much oil do I add to the system when replacing the compressor, drier and orifice tube after flushing the system? Does it all go in the compressor or do I need to add some to the drier also?

Thanks

When replacing the compressor you fill the compressor itself with oil then recharge the system. Up to 120 ml of oil can collect in the crankcase. When you replace the compressor, drain and measure the old compressor crankcase oil. Discard the oil after recording the amount. All replacement compressors are shipped dry and should come with instructions on adding the oil.
