Aren't you using a bottle of oil, see link below, and can pour the correct amount in each one of the three components, compressor, condenser, and receiver/drier?

Bobby,
Yes, if you already flushed the old oil out of the system. That would be the right way to do it.
There are many A/C system experts on the forum and hopefully they can help with their advice.

I put 1/2 the oil in the compressor, the other half in the drier/accumulator. Others put 1/3 each in the compressor, condenser and evaporator. Do this just prior to pressure testing for leaks and then vacuum evacuation. If you already know it doesn’t leak, skip the pressure test. The compressor only compresses gases, so if the oil fills up the compressor it cannot compress when turned on. After oil addition and evacuation you’re ready for refrigerant.
