total volume and the most important is mixing oils, some might not like each other. only a true A/C pro can comment on this part.... very complex , chemistry issues and outside my play grade.
somewhere deep in google search land,, i saw a site that had volumes listed. for all Vitara's (etc) by year. (i saw it 5 years ago, and forget where)
and the 8v and 16v have different routing, and pipe volume's. so might 2door and 4. can have differences,,,, but i think not.

Going by the FSM it states 10ml difference between what the compressor holds and full system volume. It appears that more is needed since the FSM said to add 10ml for the receiver/drier replacement. My compressor is a Sanden model SD7B10 and on a spec page by them it listed pag 46 oil as correct expect in the SD7B10 with a keyed shaft and it lists Pag 100 as the correct one.
I am going to pull the parts tomorrow and drain the original compressor to see just how much oil is in it. I probably should have done that first for a reference/starting point. I will take that oil to an a/c shop and find out what viscosity it is.
Thanks again,
