I've rebuilt the A/C on an old 244 I'm restoring. It has a York 210 compressor. I have 100% stripped this system bare. The compressor has been rebuilt, the dryer is new, the lines are new, the evaporator core is (okay I got cheap at this point and went for a used one). But the whole system has been flushed clean. So my understanding is I should take the total oil requirement for the system, and put half into the dryer, and half into the inlet port on the compressor, then prime it by hand.
I'm using PAO100 oil (it'll be using HyChill refrigerant which is an R12 substitute). I've seen one or two sites recommend PAO68 instead, but I think PAO100 is the correct weight).
My question is how much oil does the system require? One place I saw said 1.1L (38 oz.), but I was hoping someone might confirm.
