How to lubricate my A/C compressor

It is my understanding that the oil is carried in the R-134a system charge.
The better question at the moment is why you are trying to lubricate the compressor?

The oil is put in before the system is charged with r-134a. It goes right in the service port. Also like brapple said why do you need to add lubricant?
Waste of time unless system totally empty. You can only put in the correct amount when the system is totally empty, beyond that you absolutely have no idea of how much you need if part of it lost through a leak. Any too much and system then quits cooling since the oil to refrigerant ratio has to be very tightly held.

Take the compressor off and drain it, that is the best way to tell how much fluid is in it. Then refill to proper amounts.
