Finally have all the components on hand to begin assembling a replacement system for the original a/c system. Everything is brand new. The new compressor is Sanden model SD5S14. The instructions state that the " New Sanden compressors are shipped with all the oil required for a normal OEM system for which they were intended." I have also read to drain the new compressor and measure the contents. I was aware that this process is involved and can take some time to completely empty the compressor. Sanden states that .5 ounces will remain in compressor as a coating and should be added to the amount drained. Grand total equaled 4.5 ounces.
So, 3 questions: 1) Does that seem to be enough for the whole system? 2) How much goes back in the compressor? 3) How much goes into the remaining components? Sanden does not give a breakdown on these steps.
