Ah, the old R134a retrofit oil question. I'll make some popcorn for the debate sure to follow. A relevant thread from several years ago, showing what I've been using:

I do not remember the quantity, though. I think it's the same amount as with the original R12 system. I can check my notes later if that will help.

As said I would call them if no information came with the compressor.
When I replaced mine a tag said it shipped with "shipping oil" but you had to dump it out and when upside down to rotate the pulley.
Once the oil was out it told you how much to fill it with but not what type.
