How do I add oil to my car's AC compressor?
How can I add oil to my car’s AC compressor myself? I replaced some parts and I know it needs to be done. I’d like to avoid a trip to the mechanic if possible.

- Remove the AC compressor
- Drain the old oil
- Add the new oil
- Replace the compressor
To have oil added to your AC compressor and your system recharged, you can expect to spend $150 to $300.
