How much accompressor oil needs to be added a new compressor for 1996 s-10 blazer and where do you add it?

You shouldn't need to add compressor oil to a *new* A/C compressor for a 1996 S-10 Blazer. New compressors come pre-filled with the correct amount of oil. Adding more could overfill the system and cause damage.

If your compressor is new and not working, the problem is likely something else entirely, such as:

* Improper installation: The system needs to be evacuated and properly charged with refrigerant after a compressor replacement. A leak in the system is a common cause of failure.

* Electrical issue: Check the compressor clutch for power and proper grounding.

* Refrigerant leaks: The system might have leaks that need to be addressed before refilling.

Where you would add oil (if absolutely necessary, and only if you are experienced with automotive A/C systems): The oil is added through a port on the compressor itself, but the location varies depending on the compressor's make and model. You'd need to consult the compressor's specifications or a repair manual for your specific vehicle. Again, this is not usually necessary for a brand-new compressor.

Instead of trying to add oil yourself, take your vehicle to a qualified automotive A/C technician. They have the proper tools, equipment, and knowledge to diagnose and repair the problem, ensuring the system is properly charged and functioning safely. Improper handling of refrigerant can be dangerous.
