There are now some synthetic oils that work quite well with R12. It would be a good time to go to one of those products as the lubricant in place of the mineral oil.
I have done several reverse conversions with great success!

My mechanic is un-converting my 300CE this week. However, even if I provide to him the three cans of R12 I have sourced but not procured, he will not use them. Instead, he proposes to use Freeze12. I know you view that as a JUNK refrigerant. My question is whether I could at some point replace the Freeze12 with R12 without anything other than an evacuation and re-charge.
