First post here so hello.
(1) I am in the process of replacing my compressor, condenser and receiver/dryer. I am also going to remove and flush the evaporator. My FSM for my 96 Tracker page 1d-6 lists compressor oil cap as 90cc. Page 1b-31 lists system capacity of 100ml (100cc). I realize that when you open and flush the system and replace parts that you have to add extra oil so I am guessing the 10ml (10cc) difference is for the total empty system. Page 1b-27 says to add 10ml for a new receiver/drier but I can't find info in the FSM about adding any extra for the empty condenser & evaporator.
(2) About the pag oil. I ordered a kit from Buy Auto Parts and it came with a bottle of pag 100. From what I read this is a universal oil. The compressor came with 150ml (cc) of pag 46. I read the links to the TBS and other info posted here about the switch to pag 46 and some other sites that list pag46 as the OEM correct oil. The new compressor is a Sanden type but is a Samson made in China. I called BAP and the guy said to drain the pag 46 and install the correct amount of pag 100 since it was specified for my application. Which oil is correct?
I know this is a long first post so I apologize in advance. I am not a noob to the Trak/kick just this forum.

BTW, I can't read the a/c sticker under the hood so no help there.
