Best Answer

There will be a sticker somewhere in the engine compartment that tells you how much to add. It is usually 8 oz with no other oil in the system. Be careful to ensure that your system is purged prior to reinserting. I added too much to my truck and now have to have the system purged to get the system balanced out. AC systems work on a very exacting amount of oil to freon ratio. Too much oil of not enough is not good for the system. Too much oil and the freon does not flash from a gas to a liquid properly, not enough oil and the compressor lifespan is shortened.

How do the air shocks work on a 1999 Montana Will compressor automatically raise pressure when weight is added or do you have to activate compressor by pressing the switch manually?

The compressor automatically turns on and raises the pressure as rear axle load increases. The switch found in the rear compartment is for using the compressor for filling tires after attaching the supplied hose.


Where is compressor oil added on a new ac compressor for a 1996 S-10 blazer?

It is added through the low pressure line when refrigerant is added if it is a new compressor put it in the low pressure side and you may need to push down gently on a check valve inside if equipped. an average amount of oil is 4 ounces but you need to check the manual to be sure, in my case the install instructions referred me to the owners manual which was no help, as was the haynes. I called the parts store and they looked it up for me.
