The pros suggest using Nylog on those o-rings of the proper color for the refrigerant you are using. It is cheap and you do not want to take any unnecessary chances on having to redo this tedious operation.
You need to flush the lines.. not just blow them out... particles get embedded in the oil on the inside of the lines...
Given where you live....and how much trouble this operation is... and the relatively low cost of the BEST refrigerant ... I suggest you go to R12...
