Which AC oil?

Which air conditioning oil is compatable for both R134 and R12?

I am asking what to use for my last attempt at a R134 conversion. If I'm not happy with it I will spend the money on R12.

If you can afford it, then get R12. How much per pound is it going for nowdays?

So if I use Esther oil then I can charge with R134, Freeze 12 or R12 when I replace my compressor and condenser?

I plan or installing a parallel flow condenser for use with the R134. If I don't get the temps I am looking for can I use this special condenser with r12?

highly recommended on the a/c board for automotive use.
it is highly miscible with 134a and r-12.

yes it is an ester based oil.
