Ok I'm *almost* ready to charge the system. The only remaining question/discussion I would like to have is regarding the system capacities.
The TM lists the capacity as approximately 4 lbs. I'm told by someone that has installed a number of these that it's 3.75 lbs. I can go off system pressures and get that sorted to what's optimal for my specific system - no real problem there. If anyone has any additional input it's always appreciated.
The big question for me is the oil capacity and if the Sanden compressor comes with sufficient oil already in it or if the gen 2 evap/cab or condenser unit comes with any, etc. My charge machine can add as much as I direct it to when charging the system but I don't really have any information on oil capacity or what is already in all the brand new components. TM does not address the issue at all that I can find.
So.... what have you guys done? Does anyone know how much (if any) is included in a new Sanden compressor, and the new Red-Dot gen 2 components?
