Default Adding A/C oil after flush
Is there an easier way to add oil without removing lines and injecting a certain amount into each component??? Could I just remove the valve core on the low side port and put a hose on it then let it get sucked in by hand turning the compressor?

pull a vacuum and suck it through the gauges or you can get an oil injector that pushes the oil in on the low side fitting.

Ok I dont have an oil injector and cant find one anywhere but online so i'll use the vacuum trick... Though how does each component in the system get the right amount of oil??? Does it cycle through when adding the freon and/or will so when it's all done and running?

most cans of freon also include oil in the can.

I already have 8 cans of regular freon ready to go... I gottem at Biglots very cheap, plus I have a quart of really expensive moisture resistant oil I ordered online... One more thing, is adding an in-line filter to the system really nesessary and can it be installed on the high side being a compression fitting type?
