For the record ...
Do you want to describe what you did with regards to the oil in the system ?
In other words... did you have to plan ahead and make decisions about oil based on what you planned to do in the future ?

The more usual way to check for leaks is to pressurize with Nitrogen and four ounces of R22 ( which the EPA allows you to vent legally )..
This would negate any potential oil compatibility issues .
And would usually cost less than having the R134a evacuated by a pro with the proper equipment charging for their time...
