The Volvo is supposed to have ester oil in it, that's what the factory conversion kit comes with . When you order ths compressor, have him fill it with ester, he'll change it out and it will be ready to drop in ( I've bought a bunch of compressors from that guy, great service and his price on custom hoses can't be beat )
If the old compressor didnt self destruct internaly ( crunchies in the system ) no flush needed, you will need a new drier, if the comp seal leaked out flush not needed. Good idea to replace all the orings inthe system while you have it apart.
If it had crunchies in the system, let me know and Ill give you instructions to flush. make sure to order a compressor with fill ports on the back or you wont have a low side fitting to fill from .
