Well...after I decided that Omega was perfect, project done....compressor gave up this afternoon...started rattling as hell, blowing warm...clutch engages and disengages normally....
I ordered new compressor and now I need to know two things:
1. How much lubricating oil should be in new compressor

2. Part number for 2 dowty washers that go between AC compressor and cooling lines

New compressor will arrive in two days, replacing it won't be a problem, but I can't find where to buy those 2 dowty washers.
Thanks in advance, Stan

Take your old ones to a hydraulic pipe repair shop, they’ll probably be able to match them up👍

Surely the new compressor includes them, it came to me with the gaskets

[danzigfan]

The last one I got, came without them

[danzigfan]

Does anyone know the amount of lubricating oil inside compressor?

[Doctor Gollum]

Should be on the AC label on the slam panel 

[danzigfan]

It only says the amount of refridgerant

Thought there was also the PAG amount. 50ml maybe

[biggriffin]

Should come with a small satchel of oil, when you go to get it reggased, the Dalek will add the correct amount of pag about 50-80ml, and 950ish of refrigerant.

Yes 👍 done mine recently

So, just as a test, to see the amount of oil needed, I took ac compressor off my other 2.5V6, and no oil came out ...Now I'm at the starting point again.

Entire system takes 8 oz or 236 ml... If I can believe allmighty internet, condenser, evaporator and both ac lines contain app. one oz each, when you replace compressor. So the amount of oil added to it should be 236ml minus  118 ml which is already in the system.

It's slowly getting over my head...any experienced member here who did this procedure and lives today to tell?

You're over thinking it

When it gets vacuumed out, the system should be empty. When it gets refilled, the new stuff will already contain the oil of an appropriate amount if done properly

[Raeturbo]

^what he said^👍

[danzigfan]

So...should I leave amount of oil inside new ac compressor as it is and just take the car with new compressor directly to regas? No worries?

[Raeturbo]

Yes they will evacuate the whole system before they refill it anyway
