Air conditioner refrigerant oil will be distributed throughout the system after operation. The different parts contain approximately the following oil quantities:

Compressor 40%
Condensor 15%
Evaporator 35%
Receiver-Drier & Lines 10%

When replacing parts, oil has to be added or drained so that total oil volume in the system will again be about 100% +/- 10%.

New compressors are filled with total oil volume required for vehicle involved. Too much oil causes insufficient cooling.
