I had problems with a leaky High side line and the compressor sounds like its about to shred. Sooo I found another F150 with a Good sounding Compressor and I pulled it off to put in my F150(1996).

I am putting in a new Accumulator and the compressor I pulled from a good working system.

Q: How much oil should I be putting into the system?
(The new accumulator will be brand new and I will be flushing the evaporator, condensor and replacement line I also pulled from the other working system.)

I turned the newer compressor and less than 1 0z of oil came out. I am assuming it is an FS10 Compressor...

Q: Should I be adding all the neccesary oil to the Compressor only or should I be adding oil to the accumulator as well?

 

Turns out I should put 5oz on the Compressor side and 2 oz in the accumulator. Joy..
