you should take it to a professional to work on your a/c system you need the proper equipment to vacuum the system and charge it with freon and a proper amount of oil although,most likely you dont need additional oil..

there's plenty of oil that popped out..on air box..on radiator..lots of parts.:-D...yah but i guess i want to save on labor by removing/installing the parts..and they can do the rest..

most likely the new part comes with oil already.if you mess it up,you'll have to spend more money than anticipated.just my 2 cents hope it works out.

after everything is assembled together.vacuuming is done to boil moisture out of the system.should be done for at least 20 min.

so basically aside from changing accumulator, i won't have to do anything..they'll just have to boil/fill with coolant? wonder how much $ that will save me
