Default a/c oil

Is it ok to mix pag oil with ehster oil. When I converted from r12 to 132 the retrofit came with ehster oil already in the can of 134. Fixed a leak now need to recharge. All I can find in cans is pag oil.

When we did mine the other day we had to put 3 oz of ehster into the compressor and I think 6 oz into the lines.

Stick with ester - it's compatible with whatever trace amounts of mineral oil are still in there from the R12 - Pag isn't, but it is compatible with ester. Try an a/c shop but I'm pretty sure Poop Boys and/or NAPA have ester - just ask for it. Unfortunately, you'll probably have to buy a quart - capacity is 8 ozs.
