Default AC question

So so I did a swap and the compressor calls for pag 46 but 350z manual says use klh00-pagso if u change condenser or anything like that .. I did put a new condenser and new AC lines . So can I just add pag 46
into system and the amount it says to give back oil to the condenser in lines or is klh00-pagso and pag 46 two totally different things? Any advice would be great .. thanks

I say just take it to a shop that specializes in AC. A reputable shop will use a specific machine that will evacuate and charge the system the right way. It can be pricey but if your not familiar or know what you are doing its best just to take in in my opinion.
Good luck

I run 75/90 as 2-stroke oil in my weedwacker and it likes it. As long as it's oiled?

I think you can safely ignore what Nissan recommends since this is a complete AC replacement. I would follow the compressor mfg. specs. If the compressor MFG says PAG-46 is fine, with R134A, then use that. Note that most "new" compressors come from the factory pre-filled will the correct PAG oil.
Cheers!
