R-134 conversion

I just did a conversion on a suburban this past weekend and the oil that comes with the conversion kit is definetly compatible with the r12 oil. just go to the autoparts store and buy the kit for no more than 35 dollars, you might have to buy the extra cans of R134 refrigerant to make up the amount that your system requires. Remember to look up the amount in ounces of refrigerant that your system requires,that total includes the oil that you are adding with the kit. IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO OVERCHARGE THE SYSTEM... as the kit also informs you to only fill up to 80 percent. follow the instruccions on the packaging, its is very simple.. the amount required for your system should be on label on top of the accumulator/dryer it itll be in lbs. good luck..
