Aircon system oil quantity 2006 California T5

[Timothy]

I'm hoping someone has data on the total Aircon oil and refrigerant quantities for 2006 California. The bonnet sticker says refrigerant 650g and oil 140ml but data from compressor manufacturers state 900g refrigerant and 240ml oil due to rear evaporator. I know bonnet was replaced so expect wrong label applied. Be grateful for confirmation.

Yes, a California has 3 zones, with a rear evaporator. Those cars have 900 something, and cars without rear evaporator have 600 some thing…

If your Cali has dual zone climate with rear evaporator, then it is the latter. If no dual zone, then the former. Not sure of the exact as van is outside.

Thanks all. I thought all California's had rear Aircon - but found that's not so.mine doesn't sound gas qty is 650g as per sticker.
