I flushed the entire system, and installed a brand new compressor. The Haynes manual says I should pour 2oz of oil each into the evaporator and condensor before evacuating the system. However, my R134a bottle says that it has oil already mixed in it. My question is, should I add this oil, or should I assume that the oil in the refrigirent is enough? I assume that I still need to pour some oil into the compressor ports to keep it lubricated during startup.
