When I was planning on changing my condenser, my local friendly garage de- pressurised the system for me and lent me a bottle of the oil that they put into the system, or I think that's what it was, may be wrong. He said lube the o rings with it, and don't spill it cos it's extortionately expensive.

When I had done the work, he vacuum tested the system for leaks then refilled it for me. Perhaps I should have said his machine did, it the system fails the vacuum test it won't attempt to fill it.

He explained that leaking that gas into the atmosphere would get him a 1k fine, jeez!
