How much freon an oil does this system take - 2006 Kia Sedona

These dont use Freon. Freon is R22

These use R134 -46oz and 13oz of oil. You need to pump down the system though once the oil is added and let it sit with the vacuum pump to remove any moisture. Any moisture left in the system will ruin your expansion valve and compressor quickly. Then add one can of R134 and run the system for a minute to distribute the oil. then add more R134 until the gauges show it at the right pressure for your ambient air .

most cars have it printed on decal the body under hood it will say 134-a capacity 2.3lb ,when adding Freon allways follow detailed instructions .if system has been emptied you may have to use Freon with oil in it

This is an estimate if the compressor was not drained. First, there are differences in the weight or viscosity of the oil for compressors. It works just like the weight of engine oil. You need to find out what was used on your vehicle. Many people DO NOT know about this with compressor oil.

Next, there are small containers or pressurized cans of oil which are introduced into the Freon system using A/C ports. There are oil-only containers and there are mixed Freon-oil containers.

Pressure is a concern. Some of the volume in the system will be displaced by the oil. If your system is low on Freon, then a mixed can with Freon and oil would be better. If the pressure is normal, you may be able to squeeze a little oil into it without making changes to the Freon.

If the pressure is too HIGH, then bleeding off a little Freon would be needed. There is usually only a small charge of oil in the system, something like 4 ounces. But this would be a complete fill. So unless you have a completely VOID empty system, you will not know what the oil level actually is when adding oil.

I hope my solution is helpful to you.

Hello barksdale fr: My name is Roger and I will help you. The amount of a/c oil is 8.0 oz. If you are converting to R134a freon you need to use oil that is compatable with that freon. Also if you are converting the system use 10% less freon with R134a otherwise you will over charge the system. Be syre to use the propper orfice tube for the R134a freon if converting. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

You should find a fill stem on the black oblong tank or right next to it. This is the low pressure side. You should get a Vacuum pump which can be loaned from Autozone or Oreillys with a refundable deposit. You need to draw out the moisture in the system and create a Vacuum before you refill it.

You should also use an Oil charge for the compressor. There are Freon cans with the oil charge already in them. However, there are different weights of oil used in the compressor. Let the Auto parts people get you the right type for your car. There are different weights, just like engine oil has different weights.

You will need to jump the connector at the low pressure switch to get the system to take freon. Once you have enough to close the low pressure switch you can remove the jumper wire and fill at will.

look for the fitting that is the smaller of the two and is attached to the line that is the larger of the two, this is the "low" fill side, add 2 cans of r134a freon each can is one pound the system empty holds 2 3/4 pounds of freon thats 2 3/4 cans.
I would buy 1 can of leak detector/freon combo and one can of dye/freon combo, if it takes more add a small amount of a third can that has an oil mixture in with the freon that would complete your systems needs the cheapest and fastest way possible.
If you want it done to the book then you need to have a certified A/C man vacumn pump down the system, replace the reciever drier, add freon and oil to fill the system and then check for leaks.
Happy Motoring!!

Ok if you want to do a home repair in hopes of saving yourself a lot of money and with hopes your system is not in major trouble, here goes:
First step buy 3 types of 1 lb. cans of refrigerant R134a at a parts store, 1 can of leak detector freon combination, and if possible 1 can freon/air conditioning oil combination freon along with 1 can of straight r134a freon.
The store will sell you a charge hose with a cheap type of charge gauge attachment and fittings to attach to your system for the re-charge.
Providing your system is low on freon,First, with the vehicle running and the a/c on full cold, high fan, install the 1 lb. can of freon/oil combo first only charging through the low pressure side of the system never through the thin line high pressure side as the pressure from the high side can enter the cgharging freon can and explode it like a bomb,(this low side line is the larger hose and the low side charging hose fitting the parts store sells you will only screw onto the low side charge valve which is normally marked "low" on the top of the plastic dust cap that is factory installed(hand screwed) on the low side valve fitting.
Secondly after the oil/combo can is emptied into the low side and you of course are wearing mechanics hand protection gloves and eye protection googles, then and only then will you install the leak dector 1 lb. freon can combo.
Third you will install the last 1 lb can of r134a freon, however your vehicle will not allow the whole last pound of freon into its system by means of a pressure relief blow valve that will automatically blow off any excess pressure once the system over fills, the system typically holds approximately 2.75 lbs. of freon.
If you have successfully installed the above freon into the system it should be up and running providing the system is in fairly good working order, by that I mean it may have a very slow leak that allowed the freon tio originally escape in the first place causing you to refill it, and if it does have a leak the leak detector die that you installed into the system should leak out from wherever it may be escaping from, indicating the place of needed repair by means of a red or blue, or whatever other designated coloration the die gives out from the leaking area.
Please note: Not all home charging techniques typically work as there are many mechanical failure factors in an a/c system that may require a certified a/c technician to determine exactly why your system is not working should the home remedy fail.
I hope this helps you and remember to always work safe with eye and hand protection especially around freon gases which become extremely cold and can cause frost bite when contacting with the bare skin.

When you add the freon turn the can upside down and it will push the oil and freon out of the can. If you have it up it sends freon but no oil.
You also may need more freon before the compressor will kick in.

the charge may have leaked off and now leak diagnostic may be in order...start looking for oil/wet spots within the system which may be freon oil hence freon loss

This car uses r12 freon that is the old stuff but you can have your system converted over to the 134a.
