I haven't had to put Freon in a car since the old days with R12. I know the internet is riddled with "how to's" on this, but there is a wide disparity on whether oil is needed, whether it must be done professionally, how much, rent a kit, etc. I see cheap kits at auto parts stores, and then I see kits to buy or rent that have vacuum pumps. Not sure what to make of it.
For background, my 2008 GT blew cold before the engine swap. Someone (I'm not saying who) evacuated it to atmosphere via the low side port before I did the motor change. I ended up swapping over the compressor and lines, but put a new condenser in since the old one was beat to hell.
Should I be able to use something like this, or perhaps something similar with oil already in it?
