I know how to check that part with a guage.
If memory serves right, you add abt 1/2 oz of oil to the condenser and 1/4 oz to the dryer. And you need a vacuum pump to put the refrigerant back in. If you dont pull out the air from the system before adding the refrigerant, you will have a mix of air+R134a which has pretty useless refrigeration properties.
