Under such circumstances you need to completely flush the ENTIRE system, replace the r/d and TXV and spread the required amount of oil throughout the system as it is buttoned up installing the r/d last thing.

You also might investigate adding a suction side filter.

The reason for all this is that when a compressor catastrophically fails, they typically spread debris throughout the system that will destroy the new compressor.

Sorry to be the deliverer of bad news that goes on top of your already bad news.
