Sorry to necro this old post but it has came up twice in recent history when looking for pag oil info.

I need to clarify that a/c compressors almost NEVER come with the correct oil in them (i say ‘almost’ cause there’s always an exception) . They come with shipping oil to prevent the insides from rusting.

When you get a new compressor you should dump whatever oil is in it out and dispose of it properly. Then install the correct oil with the amount based on manufacture’s specification. (in a case where there is no specification you should dump the oil out of the old compressor into a graduated cylinder and see how much was in it.)
