Default Adding PAG oil when replacing condenser/drier ?

Hi folks,

Am in the process of changing my condenser & drier on a 2002 V70 D5 – will be posting a detailed write up to help others in future.
Would appreciate some advice to finish the job off:

Can someone confirm the correct PAG oil is PAG 100 ?

How much PAG oil to add when replacing components:
Internet search shows I should add around 25 to 30 cc for the condenser so that seems ok.
But the figures for the drier vary a lot more – between 95cc and 25 cc – depending on where you look - does anyone have any definitive figures for this car – maybe someone could look on VIDA and see if defines them ?

There are various refs saying you should pour out the old oil, and measure it and put back in the same amount – but almost nothing comes out and anyway I would expect the condenser has a lot stuck to its large inner surface area and the drier has desiccant in which I imagine would absorb (or at least retain) some oil so it wouldn’t come out ?

Thanks
Julian

PS – My VIDA not working at the mo – need to sort out the “patch” issue
