Default 1994 XJ - AC Hose Replacement

High side hose is leaking going to replace hose and receiver drier. How much PAG oil should I replace? Also, is there a chart detailing 1994 Jeep Cherokee 134A oil, freon, capacities and internal pressures for low and high side. Thank you.

Does it look like a lot of oil was lost due to the leak (big oil stain)? If not the general rule of thumb I've seen when replacing a hose is to add 1/2 ounce of oil.

Well replacing receiver drier and hose 1/2 oz seems small amount. Having an issue finding hose that goes from receiver drier to expansion valve. Does anyone know the part #

1/2 ounce would be for replacement of a single hose by itself. You can dump out and measure the oil in the old drier and put the same amount of fresh oil in the new one.

Great point will do that. Any insights on hose called Autozone, O'Reilly, and Napa they don't carry. Will try the dealer today.

Another possibility is to take the old hose to a shop to have it rebuilt. Basically they will attach your existing fittings to new hose. I had this done several years ago for a leaking AC hose in an AMC Eagle.
