Air conditioning

Hello everyone
I have a c-class air conditioner that sprung an oil leak at the bottom connection to the condenser. I haven't used it since then, but now that it's fixed, I have a question: how much PAG oil should I add to the system so it doesn't run on low oil and need more repairs? Could you please tell me how much oil has been lost from the system? While operating under hoover, does the regas machine remove all system oil? (The machine supposedly just takes 5 minutes to run.)10 millilitres while under vacuum, and then reintroduce it to the system (not all of the oil).
No matter how many garages I've contacted, no one appears to have the answer; all you have to do is plug it into the machine.
Could someone please give me some advice on this?
Sending my respects

This is what I gathered from a couple sources: Leave it to the machine; if it breaks down later, they won't have served their purpose. My 2015 C200 was just serviced, and the mechanic removed the gas and oil before doing a vacuum test and the reversal. Based on the printout, it appears that 9 grams of oil was extracted and 24 grams of oil was injected. There was a 521 g petrol leak and a 630 g petrol refill.

I hope that helps. My air con post has gone unanswered, so I'm hoping this is some kind of Karma.

A new condenser/dryer, installation, gas and VAT would set you back about £325 if you're having the same issue with CLK.
So far, the only AC maintenance that has been required is a gas top-up last year.
Decent for a vehicle that is twenty-one years old.
