Once I flush the A/C system and install a new compressor how much oil do I put back in?

The new compressor should have oil it already, But to be safe you can add 2 more ounces. You don't want to much oil because it can impair the system's performance.

R134a Refrigerant .................... 0.907 Kg (32 oz.)
