No real preference to flush brands. Buy the bulk liquid and a flush gun that connects to the air compressor, it'll do the most thorough job compared to an aerosol can. You'll need at least 2 quarts to do a thorough flush.

Most of the Denso compressor car take between 7.5-8.5oz of oil. 7.75 oz should be plenty. My preference is PAO68 since it has superior lubrication properties to PAG46 and is not hydroscopic, meaning that if any moisture ever enters the system it will not turn the oil acidic.
