Thank you again for the help.
That sounds like a plan, I went ahead and found some rubber hoses that fit nicely over the inlet and outlet pipes from the evaporator that I will use to redirect the flush chemical. I will report back how I make out.

Re: Oil Balancing System
Thank you for the replies. Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured - these are just generalizations GM made based off some ballpark measurement. Who knows how much oil was really in there the past 10 years or so. I would like to attempt flushing, but I'm not sure I could do a good job without removi...

Re: Oil Balance Question
Just a little update, flushed out the condenser and put plenty of compressed air through it. I used Dura flush II, that stuff evaporated scary fast.

Oil Balance Question
Hello everyone, I've got a few questions concerning the A/C in my 1998 eclipse. I'm no stranger to working on cars, and I understand A/C is a tricky subject usually left to professionals but I figured with multiple older (90's) family cars that it wouldn't be a bad thing to try and learn. The A/C ha...
