try napa ones, they have worked well for us.

Sometimes reman is the only choice due to age and demand......I've used plenty of remans, although, I often opt for new if it's availible, in the summer when we do most of our a/c work, it's rare we get a comeback on a compressor we replace, new or reman, as long as system depending on the type of failure the car had, was flushed properly, correct oil added as well as proper amount of freon added, then we don't see them comeback often for compressor failure.

 

I ordered the reman compressor from latemodel resto, when it came it had a sticker saying it needed oil, i contacted latemodel resto and they told me to take it to a shop to have installed, I ordered the compressor and lines and all that to put it in myself, i plan on taking it somewhere to get properly vacuumed/filled but want to install it all myself, latemodel was of no help as to how much and what kind of oil to add before i put it together, anybody have an idea? thanks

 

i take that back, i just got a vacuum pump and the manifold set to evacuate and fill it my self so i definitely need help on what pag oil to use and how much.

 

r-12-134a conversions use ester oil not pag and an r-12 system should be charged 80% with r134a of the r-12 max quantity
