Can anyone confirm how many ounces of Ac oil are supposed to be used for the 1.8 engine? I replaced my ac compressor, condenser and expansion valve and flushed out the high and low side lines. I left the evaporator in place because it is a PITA to get out. I had the system evacuated and them recharged by a shop. My new compressor came with 6 oz of oil already in the part and I didnt take any out. I figured maybe and ounce of oil was left in the evaporator, making for a total of 7 oz in the system now? The best answer i could find in a chart was for a 2004 1.8 and it was listed at 7oz.
Since im still learning here, does the oil in the compressor get moved throughout the entire system or is it for the compressor only? The shop that did the recharge indicated that whatever oil came out would be put back in. Am i good with 6 or 7 oz of oil which is what should be in there now?
