I had a hole in my AC suction hose. I replaced the hose and I am ready to recharge my AC. I'm assuming I lost oil the system needs but I am not sure how much or what kind to get. Below are what my options are. I have to get my AC working ASAP because I am going on a road trip to the Florida and well, it's gonna be HOT!! I have more options for the R-134a if I need more. These cans have 1 oz oil, 1 oz R134a and 1 oz sealer stuff. . . Please help before I melt to death!

Do you have a vacuum pump? You will need to pull a vacuum to remove the air and moisture in your system from when you had the system open and exposed to the environment to replace the hose.

Then it gets a bit complicated. You should clean & flush the system so that you are starting from scratch so you know how much oil & freon to add. Course you could just chance it, pull a vacuum and dump the correct amount of freon in.

I figure most of the oil sprayed out when the hole opened up since its under a good amount of pressure. I ended up using 4 cans of the 3 oz (1oz oil 1 oz r134a 1 oz sealer) and two 12 oz cans of pure r134a. The pressure gauge said it was still good. Ac works fine, not super super cold but cold enough to cool off. Hopefully it'll make it through my road trip. I honestly don't even like using it. I can feel it bog down my B20!
