I read that too and even bought a bottle of FrigiQuiet. Read the bottle and it says to use only as topping off oil with R12. Called the company to confirm they do not recommend it as the oil with R12. I went with mineral oil.

The compressor should be taken off and flushed with the new oil being used to clean all the old oil out.

That's what I thought. I don't read anywhere in the thread that the OP removed the compressor. He just flushed.

On the other hand... IF he is dealing with a Delco R4 then at least he has NO OIL SUMP... so the amount of bad oil would be less than a normal type compressor... but I only deal with earlier models so I do not know what type compressor he has...
It is proper to hand flush all of them... just saying if that were overlooked for some reason an R4 would have less residual oil left over than most other designs.
