I'm really confused with this AC oil thing -- Getting mixed information -- someone is wrong
2000 XJ -- New Compressor, Condenser, Accumulator, wet line with orifice tube
Everyone agrees that a 2000 XJ uses 6.1 ounces of Oil -- this compressor wants PAG 46 -- OEM was pag 100 -- Means I'll do an evaporator flush -- that was changed 2 seasons ago
6.1 ounces of oil total in the entire system -- on the label of compressor and also confirmed with Snap on's pro demand/Mitchell
Disperse oil as follows as per pro demand
Accumulator -- 3.0 ounces
Condenser --.75 ounce
Evaporator --1.5 Ounces
Compressor -- drain and measure old oil in old compressor and replace with same amount
So 5.25 ounces in all the other components leaves .85 ounce for the compressor according to snap on
GDP compressor comes with it's own Info -- says compressor should have 60% of the oil in the entire system -- this is 4 ounces if the total is 6 -- if there is not 60% of the oil in the compressor something is wrong
This doesn't work out -- if all the other components get a certain amount that doesn't leave enough for the compressor according to the manufacturer
What the hell am I missing? HELP -- I'm trying to do this right, just too much conflicting info
My thinking now is to add 4 ounces to the compressor and 2.1 ounces to the accumulator and let it run -- stands to reason that the oil will find where it wants to be anyway -- am I wrong here?
As always, Thanks for any help
