Default R12 Oil

I'd like to recharge my '90 Lumina's A/C system. I have several 14oz. cans of R12, but do not have any of the refrigerant oil. Is oil (compatable w/ R12) still sold?

Thanks.

Yes oil is still available. But I am not an Automotive A/C guy, I'm a commercial/ Industrial refrigeration mechanic so I would not be able to tell you which flavor to use. Probably Alkybenzen or Poly Ester oil.

Im sure someone will chime in soon
