I was wanting to know if I could just replace the condenser and put new oil and Freon.

Hello,

Yes, you can just replace the condenser.

You will need 34 ounces of 134a Freon for single or dual zone climate control. If it is a three zone, then you will need 46 ounces.
Also, will need 1 ounce of PAG oil.

I have attached the replacement procedure below.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
