For R134a refrigerant systems, it's recommended to use a synthetic oil, specifically polyalkylene glycol (PAG) oil. PAG oils are compatible with R134a and provide better lubrication and thermal stability compared to mineral oils. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for the correct viscosity and type to ensure optimal performance and prevent system damage.
First of all, you don't use R12. Rather, R134 which has the oil included.

If you mix r12 with r134 air conditioning system, it will cause a high pressure in your airconditioning system and eventually damage the compressor and the evaporator. R12 is only for r12 aircon and something with r134, it can't be mix.
Yes!
if your uing air tools on the compressor then you will put one or two drops directly into the inlet where you connect the compressor hose
Yes if the compressor has oil in it, drain it out and measure what comes out. A good general rule is about 3-5 oz to put in the new compressor. Make sure to put it directly in the suction side(low side) of the compressor and turn it about 10 times .
You should not put any oil in a Ford air conditioning compressor. The air conditioning compressor runs on Freon. The system should take about one pound of Freon.
Compressor lubricant is mixed in with the freon and will enter the system when it is recharged

NO ! and Why?
If you only replaced the compressor, 2 to 3 ounces.
