Question... when you install a drier it tells you to add 1/3 oz. of refrigerant oil... My question is.. where do you add this oil ? Do you just add it directly into the drier ?

#252085 or you could just take it to a radiator shop, and have them recharge the r12.

#252088 Vacuum it out and before you fill it put dye inside for future leaks and you can rent one from only autozone I think and r12 is no longer available publicly ....if u want r12 expect to pay $30 an oz.
