My local recharge place, who emptied my system, will vacuum and recharge but their machine adds oil and UV automatically. They use Supercool Ester oil. I wanted to fill with PAO 68, which is non hygroscopic.
Anyone know if the oil fill can be switched off on these automated machine?

Some can, but it depends on what machine they are using.
