A question on recharging the AC? Thanks!

Hi,I just got me a 2002 Concorde. The AC is not working on it and after checking it out I noticed that there was a leak on the suction line. The rubber part of the suction line is punctured right in the middle. It is rather a big gap; it looks like someone did a job on it with a knife or a screwdriver! Don't ask me why. My friend checked it out yesterday and he said that it is totally empty. Today, I got the suction line from the dealer for $40 and we are going to install it in the morning.I just have a couple of question for you, hope someone can help out! I read in the book that this system has 5 OZ of PEG oil in it, so how much do I need to have my friend put in it when he charges the system tomorrow? I am assuming that it does not need the full 5 OZ because some of the oil is still trapped in there! The other question, should I have my friend do the job for me? It is straight forward and he got the machine in the shop where he works and we got the OK to use it tomorrow. It is going to cost me about $30 to do it this way instead of going to the dealer and shelling out ~ $200!Thanks,M.

Ted, Thanks Buddy! Installed the new line today and pressure tested the system. Fortunately, no other leaks! I am going to wait until tomorrow to get that dryer before we charge it up. I asked and I am going to do what I am told and I hope that will do it! Thanks again man.

Yeh I got it..Thanks Bill. It was really hard getting anything after reading Ted's response to my original question. Maybe it is the age thing too, I am only 19! Sorry!
