96 A/C OIL QUESTION

HERES A GOOD ONE! I'LL TELL MY WHOLE ORDEAL. I CHECK FREON IN MY 96 CHEROKEE SPORT AND P.S.I. WAS LOW (20) SO I BOUGHT A CAN OF FREON WITH 2 OZ OF OIL(PAG), LEAK DECTECTOR,SEALER,ETC. I ADD THAT CAN AND IT WAS STILL LOW. I ADDED ANOTHER CAN OF THE SAME STUFF THEN I GOT PROBLEM: P.S.I WAS WAY HIGH AND COMPRESSOR WOULD ONLY TURN ON FOR

2 SECONDS THEN OFF FOR A BIT REPEATLY AND AIR WAS NOT COOL. HERES WHAT I DID(DON'T TELL THE LAW; I HATED DOING THIS)TO FIX MY PROBLEM I WAIT FOR THE COMPRESSOR TO ENGAGE AND OPENED THE ZERK FITTING UNTIL OIL CAME OUT AND IT LOOK LIKE THE OIL AND SEALER, ETC I ADDED CAME OUT 4-6oz AND THE COMPRESSOR STAYS ON AND I HAVE 30 PSI @ 75-80 DEGRESS HEAT AND COOL AIR. I GUESS MY QUESTION IS HOW MUCH OIL IS NEEDED IN THE A/C SYSTEM? SHOULD I ADD SOME ( ABOUT 2oz) OIL? ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! THANK YOU MONGO

It depends on your specific system, generally you should never add oil unless the AC was completely evacuated for some major service. Only do you add oil and the exact amount of refrigerant. More in both cases is not better.

You need to have your system evacuated and pumped out by a professional as you now have way too much oil in there. Oil, unlike 134a does not compress and if you get enough into the compressor it will self destruct. Generally you never add oil to an AC system unless it has been completely emptied or the accumulator has been replaced.

You may be lucky, but what ever you do, DO NOT add more oil!
