A/C oil
How much oil should I add to a new a/c system. New compressor , front Condensor , New underbelly Condensor , New rec / dryer , Evaporator , New hoses. I have heard that oil has to be added for every component in the system. I have also heard that you should not mix mineral oil with Ester oil. I am using R134, My compressor came with mineral oil in it already. Thanks

Drain the compressor of the old oil. I did basically the same setup as you and I added 8 ounces total, I put 2 in the compressor,2 in the receiver drier and then an ounce in a few of the hoses this way the compressor doesn't have to move a huge slug of oil when you first turn it on.

from what I have read, Ester does mix with R12 ac mineral oil, it is the early versions of PAG that do not mix with the old R12 oil
