Ummm, it depends which car you have. A wagon? W123? A GTI?

If you're using R134a, then PAG is OK. If R-12, use mineral oil. I'm assuming you're doing a full flush. My W123 used 170ml of mineral oil, basically 1/3 in the condenser, 1/3 in the drier, and 1/3 in the narrow line to the evap, and enough in the compressor to be sure the moving parts were wet (but most came dribbling out when the compressor was mounted).
