Hi folks...... I have had my car since new, and still enjoy driving it and taking care of it. Other than warranty work it has never been in the shop. That does not mean I'm all that good as a mechanic. It just means my car has been very reliable, and that I have been able to solve all problems (so far) with the help of others like yourselves. I know that I will value your help, and I promise to be a contributor whenever given the opportunity to share something I might know. Best wishes to all...... Don Pleasanton, Ca

Can someone please direct me toward the "correct" amount of air conditioning oil that should be in my AC system? I have researched, but I have either found conflicting information or I don't understand how to read the information provided. I am the original owner of my 92 SC-400; the freon system is still R-12; I know the AC oil is specified as "ND Oil 6"; and my compressor tag shows "Denso 10 PA20C. Here's my specific questions......... 1) How much AC oil is supposed to be in the entire AC system? 2) Of the above total amount of oil, how much is supposed to be in the compressor itself? I recently removed my AC compressor and tipped it upside down with the suction/discharge lines removed and absolutely no oil drained out. I would like to refill the compressor with fresh oil without disturbing the rest of the AC system. 3) If I get too much oil into the AC system, what problem would that cause? I appreciate any and all help!! Don
