Oil Added With Evaporator Replacement?

[Buckaroo]

For those of you who have replaced the AC Evaporator, did you add any compressor oil while doing the job? If so, how much?

usually as a rule of thumb, when replacing any ac component excluding hoses, 1 ounce should be added if im not mistaken. Im sure there is a chart or spec somewhere but you will be safe with 1 once.

Thanks for the response. Based on general practices, I was planning on adding 1.5oz as I am replacing the desiccant bag as well. I have been through the FSM and could not find any spec other than total oil charge should be 4.5oz. Evap replacement procedure does not specify any quantity and was surprised.

I definitely added oil when I swapped mine, but just eyeballed it due to the lack of documentation. Likely in the 3-5oz range.
