AC COMPRESSOR OIL

[Luis Ramirez]

Anyone know how much oil is recommended for a DENSO Ac compressor of a 2003 chevy suburban 5.3V8 WITH rear a/c? It's a model 10s20f body style . New one didn't come filled with oil .

According to this guide and this guide (scroll down to page 29), 11oz. of PAG-46

How many components did you replace? If you ONLY replaced the compressor Id fill it up while turning the pulley, you will probably only get a few ounces in it.

flush the system, replace the orifice tube, accumulator and O-rings. if the compressor shit the bed than you most likely have debris in there that will contaminate the system. evacuate ant recharge with the correct amount of oil and refrigerant. otherwise you are wasting time and money. just my 2 cents!!!!!


you can put too much oil in. it's best to measure it

Yes I just purchased the entire kit to replace the a/c components of my burban' . And for sure I'm going to take the extra step to flush the system completely ! Thanks again for the help

I'm replacing the compressor with a DENSO 10s17f body style but I'm not sure if it supports rear ac !! The original number is GM 15081860 . And as well as a new accumulator, seals , and orifice tube

Then Id try to get about 4 oz in the system total, then you can do non-oil freon for charging.
