Do Ford AC compressors come with oil?

Answer:
Ford AC compressors come with oil. When purchasing a compressor from Classic Auto Air, customers receive a compressor that is fully charged with the appropriate amount of oil. Compressors that Classic Auto Air rebuilds come with a full system charge of Ester 100 oil, which is compatible with both the old R12 refrigerant and newer 134a. New, R12 Rotary compressors come with a full system charge of Mineral Oil, which is compatible only with R12 refrigerant. New 134a rotary compressors come with a full system charge of PAG oil, which is compatible only with 134a refrigerant.
It is important to note that the amount of oil in the compressor may differ from vehicle specifications. In such cases, it is recommended to check the compressor instructions for the correct amount of oil to be added. Additionally, Ford A/C compressors require specific types of oils. Ford uses Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) oil in their R-134a systems.
Please note that it is not advisable to change the A/C compressor oil yourself, as car air conditioning compressors are complex systems. It is recommended to have a certified mechanic perform the oil change to avoid any potential damage.
