New compressor and dryer
The seal on my compressor went out, so I am replacing the compressor the dryer and the orfice filter. My question is how much oil to add? I have access to an evacuator so the system will be completly empty. I have one can of Castrol Oil Charge that has 2 oz of oil and 2 oz of R134a is that enough oil?

Im with bosshoss, i do believe it is 8 onces of oil, but if u got a rebuilt compressor they usually come with some oil in them, in that case there will be a paper with it sayin if, and how much is in it, so that you do not over fill it.

I did find the info on a sticker under the hood (1997 F350 Powerstroke) 2lbs 6oz of R134a and 9oz of oil. The compressor I am installing is a new part from the parts store, the paper work says it only has assembly lube and I need to add the required amount of oil.
