Agree with above, though you need 8 ozs of oil. Put 4 in the Accumulator, 3 in the compressor and 1 in either the evaporator or the condensor. Use Ester instead of Pag and be sure to swap out the orifice. Once everything is installed, turn the compressor hub (clockwise) a couple of times so that some is forced out into the condensor line.

Also remember to not use as much R134 as you did R12. I think it takes about three-fourths as much. Better to start with just a couple of cans and work from there. I used a blue ford orfice tube in my conversion as recommended.
