You add mineral oil or PAG oil depending on the freeon you use R-12 or R134A(only add the same amount you removed when you recovered the system unless you intalled new parts then add what the manual tells you to for that part) You can also add dye to it, it helps you find any leaks in the system. Some oils come with dyes already in them.

Automotive a/c uses freon. Be it R-12, which was phased out by 94, or R-134A, which is the new freon in all vehicles in the USA. The a/c system also requires refrigerant oil, which type depends on the type freon used. Using R-22 or other type refrigerants will cause problems, as the expansion rate changes, and the temp vs pressure is not the same. Any other aftermarket gases should be avoided, unless you wish to replace your entire system after you find out it didn't work.

Freon is in a liquid or gas state depending on the temperature. It can be R-12 or R-134A depending on your year model.If 134A it has to use synthetic oil,R-12 use mineral oil.The oils do not mix between the two.

"Freon" is a Dupont brand name of refrigerant. Cars in the US used R-12 prior to 1993. Currently they use R-134A. Converting an older car to R-134 has a limited success rate, kind of like a heart transplant.

All A/C systems in cars since 1993 manufacture 134A, which is mandatory.

Newer cars use a refrigerant, specifically R134-a. Freon was phased out because of environmental reasons.
