2000 S-10 oil capacity and OT location.

70monte on Tue May 24, 2011 1:18 PM User is offline

Year: 2000
Make: Chevrolet
Model: S-10
Engine Size: 2.2L
Refrigerant Type: R134a
Country of Origin: United States

I'm going to be working on a 2000 S-10 with the 2.2L engine in a few days and need to know the oil capacity of this system. Does anyone know or can point me toward a source for the amount?.

Is the OT located at the outlet of the condensor on this model? Thanks for any information.

Ahhh.. the good ole V-7 compressor-- look for 10 amp red a/c fuse to be shorted out...because the engine intake air duct smashes a/c connector wire against heater pipe.
Take that big air intake snorkel off to see.

Other than that oil capacity is 8 ounces, and OT is in evap inlet, under accumulator-- much easier to access if accumulator is removed.

The number one A/C diagnostic tool there is- is to know how much refrigerant is in the system- this can only be done by recovering and weighing the refrigerant!!
Just a thought.... 65% of A/C failures in my 3200 car diagnostic database (GM vehicles) are due to loss of refrigerant due to a leak......

Thanks for the information. I will check out the fuse and wiring.

I did find the capacities chart on this website and it said that this system takes 9 ounces. Is the information on this chart wrong.? I figured it was 8 ounces like most of the GM systems I've worked on. Thanks again.

8 changed to 9 on variable compressors somewhere in the 90's.. no big deal-- and ounce or two either way is not crucial-- variables hold 3-3.5 ounces in their crankcases.
