When you try to check your freon level on the low side (blue gauge ) feel it with your finger and if you see no leakage or oily deposit most likely you are okay but if you see oily deposit then you may want to add a couple of table spoon oil to your compressor . Compressor normally need gas more than they need oil . If you are losing freon on a normal basis you should get license heating and airing guy to check your unit . Also listen to the sound of compressor often because too loud compressors are usually on their last leg .

The oil is there for one purpose ,thats to lubricate the compressor ,but it also traveles with the refrigerant through the system and when you have a leak it will be forced out the place where you have the leak ,thus after awhile you will lose some oil ,generaly the leak will be around the seal in the compressor.

How much pag oil to add to rebuilt 2001 Chevy ac compressor?
You should be able to ask at the autoparts store that the rebuilt compressor came from. Usually a system without rear ac has 8oz. of oil in it if the whole system was evacuated. You need to add at least a couple onces of PAG oil (probably PAG 150 for yours, but confirm it first) into the suction side of the compressor before you install it, then turn it on the clutch end and let it stand for a few minutes to lube the internal front seal. After that install it and once the lines are connected you must rotate the compressor (make sure you are rotating the compressor and not just the clutch) about 10 times to clear the oil out. If you have any trouble adding the oil to the compressor you can rotate it as you add it to pull it in also. You then should have replaced the orfice tube and accumulator/receiver/dryer anytime you replace a compressor and you will add a couple onces of oil into the accumulator/receiver/dryer as well before you install the new one. They both are cheap parts normally. If you replaced the condensor then you need to add a few onces oil into the new one as well. I dealership might be able to tell you more if you ask the parts or service dept. or your local parts stores etc...

I am retrfitting ac on 93grand am and the refridgerant cans to recharge it say "includes oil". I have to have the ac system evacuated and was told this would pull most of the oil from compressor out. One guy said the oil weren't compatible so I should remove compressor and dump the oil out the back of it. Hope this helped

If you are only changing the compressor, add 3 ounces into the suction port of the compressor before you attach hoses. After hoses are attached rotate the compressor by hand clockwise several turns to distribute the oil.
