DId you flush the system at some point during this installation? The orifice tube looks quite clogged possibly from debris when/if the original compressor failed. You don't want anything from that failure circulating in the newly re-charge system to clog the new O-tube all over again.

I can't advise you on which oil works with what refrigerant but someone here should have the correct answers for you.

Good luck with this project!
