Year: 1988
Make: Toyota
Model: Single cab 4X4 Pickup
Engine Size: 2.4L
Refrigerant Type: 134a

I have a 1988 Toyota 4X4 Pickup 2.4L with no factory A/C.... I'm adding Factory A/C to it ..... I got a complete Evap box, Compressor bracket, and all the lines from a junk yard and then I got all BRAND NEW Compressor, Evap, Condenser, Dryer, Expan Valve... My Question is how much oil should I put into the compressor before I charge with 134a and what type of oil?

OEM specs were 27oz R12, 7.5oz oil which with R12 is mineral oil 525. I'd start with 22oz R134 and the oil the new compressor manufacturer recommends.
