I should have asked this on my original post. How do you flush the compressor on a !997 S-90? its a ZEXEL Using 100 Pag and R-134A. Thanks

The compressor doesn't get flushed, nor do the accumulator, condenser, receiver drier and evaporator. Flushing should be done on the lines only and they must be disconnected from the items above before starting.

Some experts recommend that the compressor should be removed from the vehicle and the oil drained from it. Pour new refrigerant oil into the suction port and turn the compressor hub by hand thereby pumping clean oil through the compressor. Compressors don't compress liquids so make sure you rotate the compressor hub by hand enough to ensure you don't foul the compressor with the oil.

Again Thanks for the info.I'll follow your advice and only put the required amount into the compressor. Plate on compressor calls for 6.8 oz. I'll let you all know the outcome.
