I had a shop pull vacuum for 1 hour and add refrigerant. After adding pag oil they had a hard time pulling vacuum so hence the direction to not add pag oil. We had to run additional hour and now the vehicle has been awesome.
**UPDATE** - 8/16/2021 - A/C system still working like a champ ! DENSO is recommended.
