Can someone please explain the A/C oil situation. A lot of resources I have read so far make it seem over complicated and not very clear. I’m trying to retrofit my R12 system in my 91 F250 to run R134A. I planned on replacing my accumulator and orifice tube, pulling a vacuum, and then charging. I had also contemplated taking my compressor out and draining the old oil out and blowing out the lines with compressed air. Is that a good idea? What about o-rings?
Finally, what about the oil? Is there a fill port on the compressor or do you put it in with the manifold gauge set? With the system pull enough vacuum to pull a liquid oil into the system? How do you know it will go where it’s supposed to?
Thanks
