 1997 Escort AC compressor, how much oil?
I'm helping my brother out with his 1997 Escort, 2.0L I think. The AC system has crapped out. I'm a factory certified VW tech and know VWs inside and out since that is all I work on. Fords, I don't know anything about.
From what I can tell, a new AC compressor doesn't have oil in it and would need to be added (VW compressors already have oil in them). How much oil do I need to put in? I'm going to assume that it would be best to add the oil via the AC service machine I've got... let it inject the oil via the service ports.
Are there any special tips you can pass along? Link to a page with details?
All I know are VWs, and I've seen non VW techs cause problems working on VWs. I don't want the same to be said when I work on this Ford.
Thank you. |
