Installing new auto A/c?

First,I read that you need to "oil" the seals and everything when you replace them.Do you use the same compressor oil?Next:I read that you also put in oil into a new compressor.Where does it go?Just right in the lines?I dont have all the parts yet.Thanks

Installing new auto A/c?
I think you will find you can not set up the a/c in most states unless you are licenced, so be very careful what you are doing.
Reply:oil is mixed in with the refrigerant. u can get a can of oil charge at advance for about 4 bucks. "Interdynamics Ester Oil Charge: With O-Ring Conditioner". what you might want to do is install the compressor but dont run it. take it to a shop and have them vacuum it, lube and charge it. that is what i did many years back.
Reply:Ok I assume you are talking about the new 134A and not the old R12


Yes you oil the seals with the same oil you use in the compressure.


First you need to find out how much oil goes into the compressure. And yes you just pour it into the holes where the lines connect. Check with the compressure makes to find out how much oil.


There is the compressure oil calles ESTER 100


In your case the oil goes into the compressure. As you pour the oil in rotate the clutch so it works in the oil into the compressure.


So say it takes 3.2 ozs pour it into the compressure.But what ever you do , do not over fill it.


After connecting all the lines connect the pump to removee all the air befor charging it with freon
Reply:i own a repair shop and if your having to ask all of these questions it means you never have done anything like this before,and you,ll mess it up if it isn't done right ,if i was you id take it a shop and have it fixed,i been at this for 36 years,and i still don't like messing with ac systems,too much can go wrong,and every time something goes wrong it cost you money,so id take it in ,and have it fixed,good luck with it hope this helps.
Reply:Yes, you use the same oil that you put in the compressor. As to putting it in the compressor, just poor a little in the intake and exhaust ports, but not alot, because most of it will just be pulled out when you pull a vacuum for 30 min prior to charging the system. Good luck
Reply:look at the type of car that already has ac in and study the pictures
