Where do you put the other 10 ounces of AC oil if can only 1 ounce in drier on my 2000 chevy venture?

A 2000 Chevy Venture's AC system does *not* require 11 ounces of refrigerant oil. The amount needed is far less, typically only a few ounces, and it's added during the AC system recharge process. The oil is already in the compressor and some will remain when it's serviced. Adding too much oil is detrimental to the system and can cause serious damage.

You should not be adding 11 ounces of AC oil. This is a significant error.

If you're attempting to recharge your AC system, you should take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic or AC specialist. They have the proper tools and knowledge to accurately diagnose the problem and add the correct amount of refrigerant and oil. Improperly adding refrigerant and oil can damage the compressor and other components.
