Default A.C. PAG Oil Capacity Confusion

Hello guys,
I have different charts that are giving me different PAG Oil capacities for the ac system. I'm replacing the A.C. Compressor and condenser and need to verify how much oil to add. The compressor comes prefilled with 3oz. Anyone know how much I should really add? And which PAG oil to really use?
Thanks in advance!

Equally confusing is the lack of Model Year and AC type in your post.

Here is the AC specification extract from the X350 workshop manual for VIN G00442 to VIN G99999:

Regrigerant and PAG oil capacities depend on the specification of the Climate Control System fitted to your vehicle but the above appears to cover all the bases.

Sorry GGG,
Didn't realise I no longer have a signature with the model info. 04 XJR.
Thanks for the pic, however its too pixelated to read. Would you happen to have a better pic?
Thanks again.

I have rebuilt A/C systems on various cars over the years. I have added more or less the right amount of refrigerant oil, without being too fussy. Probably within a couple of ounces of correct. I have never had any evident problems from doing it this way.
