Red face Civic ex 2000 How much oil on a/c system?

Hi all, I got a new compressor that came with oil, it is ready for replace but if I need to flush all lines, and all oil will be gone from the system, I can measure what it is on the new compressor, but then how much more oil do I need to add. Or will anyone know how much oild needs to be in the entire system.
Thanks, I am new to this group, I did try to search but no luck.

Thanks,

-Luis

i'm pretty sure when the shop does an evactuation/recharge the oil doesn't get sucked out of the compressor. and if it does, the shop doing the evacuation/recharge should put oil in the system.

Total oil capacity should be on the underhood sticker, I think it is 4.5 oz. The capacities per component are only for situations where you just replace one component and don't flush the rest of the system. If you have the Sanden compressor you can substitute generic 46 weight PAG for the SP-10.

Can someone translate the info up there "section 22".
So if I have Sanden compressor I will need to add:
4.6 + 0.71 + 1.6 + 0.4 + 0.4 = 7.71 fl oz.

IS THIS CORRECT? Thanks I am so dummy.
