Installing used AC compressor. Oil?
I am in the process of installing a used AC compressor in my 2007 Honda civic hybrid. I am aware there needs to be a certain level of specific oil in the compressor, but unlike a lot of AC compressors, there is no drain plug on this model.
how do I drain, check, or replace the oil that is in this compressor? I've checked it electrically and shimmed it properly on the clutch using instructions from the service manual. But I can't figure out how to remove or put oil in it and do not want to roll the dice after all this work.

Some useful stuff I’ve found regarding my issue:
- Removing/adding oil in an AC compressor manually (without available drain plugs) HERE
- info on oil capacities from the Honda service manual:
- My man ChrisFix on YouTube with an incredible AC recharge tutorial that includes adding oil if needed
(Also have a ton of new trouble codes, and I'm not sure how many are just from me shutting everythign down - inlcuding IMA - and then firing it back up).
I hate this car!
