Hi Guys,
The ac compressor on my car blow up. I bought a rebuilt one to put on in its place. OK these "York" compressors have a oil fill/drain plug on each side that on the new one are labeled add oil here, but does not say of what kind or how much. Then in the instructions that came with the new one says to add half of the oil in the suction side of the compressor and the other half of the oil is to be put equally into the other ac parts. The instructions again do not say anything about what kind or how much oil (half of what).
First question is " is the oil in the crankcase part of the compressor mix with the freon and run in the system"? and if not how much oil should be in crankcase?
Secondly is there a way I can clean the system myself before I take it to have it vacuumed and recharged?
I forgot to mention this car has already been changed to 134a.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
