Most cars run R134 now.
The oil is there to lubricate the compressor, and is usually added directly to the compressor when fitting.

Whoa. So I had already added a 20oz bottle of r134. My car ac gets cold, but should I empty the system out to get oil in there or does it get pushed in like refrigerant.
