Gents, need some help

I currently have the top of the engine stripped down on the Cerb, its a 4.5 AJP.

When I took the aircon compressor off and was moving it around, some oil ran out of one of the large connection holes , joints. I had taken the pipes off to get it out.

Can the compressor be refilled with oil, if so how and what oil.

Drain all the oil off and dispose of it
The correct amount of oil will be added by the aircon specialist when re-filling the system

First time I had it done the chap phoned the factory and was told it was PAG46 oil and 600g of gas

I think thats changed now as the gas has to be environmentally friendly. I had it redone after the engine build last year by the same chap and he just looked up gas type, quantity and oil in a book.

Refrigerant - R134A
