Default A/C oil help

I have been looking through the forums and have been unable to find the answer I need. Also I cant locate it in the FSM either.

When I replace the evaporator in the 95 What type of oil do I need for the system. I have seen things from 125, 150, and etc......

the gentleman at advacned suggested a can that was for a hybrid car. For some reason I do not think that is right even if it is really good stuff. But I could be wrong.

Thank you for your help.

PAG oil plain and simple, R134a takes PAG oil, unless it uses a electric A/C compressor hence the Advance guy, but he failed to notice your driving a 95. The different numbers are just viscosity differences. It should be in the FSM. My 93 takes mineral oil for its R12 so it is no use to you. The back of my A/C book lists GM's taking 150.

So you need PAG 150.
