Confused about where to add oil to ac compressor with oil plug...
I bought a new four seasons ac compressor and the instructions say to drain the shipping oil and fill with the manufacturers specified oil. Ok. Pretty straight forward. Well after looking at the compressor it has a plug on the side that says add oil and torque to 12ftlbs. Then I looked further down in the directions and it says to add the new pag oil to the suction side. Now I'm confused.
No oil comes out of the ac line ports but it does come out of the drain plug. I don't know what to drain from where and where to fill it back up.
Anyone have any guidance?

I guess what I'm getting at is, can too much oil inside the compressor cause any problems when the shop vacs and charges it?
