1996 Tahoe AC PAG oil type

[raptorforme93]

Whats up guys, havent posted in awhile but I need some help! Two weeks ago my compressor pretty much gutted itself but I got lucky and it didn't dump a bunch of shit into the system. Got new lines, accumulator, orifice tube, and delphi compressor. Putting it back together and I wanted to make sure that guys at the auto store got the PAG oil type right (they said PAG 46) so I double checked on two different online resources and both of them said PAG 150. I went and got PAG 150 also but kept the 46 because I double checked and their database definitely says PAG 46. Can anyone tell me for sure what to use? My sticker under the hood is missing so I couldn't just glance at it. It's a 96 tahoe with front AC only obviously since two doors are the ****. Thanks guys!!

First, the compressor should have paperwork with it that says what PAG oil to use. Secondly, how do you know that the compressor did not dump a bunch of $hit in the system? You should flush it out no matter what. The condenser and accumulator will have debris in them. And other lines will.

If you do not have a rear a/c evaporator then use 46. But if compressor packaging says otherwise verify proper vehicle application and freon type first.
