as far as actual oil capacity the only way to be sure is to drain the pump and check directly with the compressor type and spec .....the specs are very specific to pump ID not year/make/model of the car and often times you have mid yer changes that may slightly change the compressor and how much oil its got

thanks for the reply. So you have replaced a condenser on these cars before ? most A/C systems i believe the oil travels with the freon and there's a sump with most of the oil in the compressor.
