Tom,
I am pretty sure that the lube should be added with the gas. It is on my 2 litre.
Following from main site
http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/aircon.htm
"Next time you have the hood up on your Scorpio take a look at the bright yellow sticker on the front cross member to the left of the car, this will tell you what charge of r134a and oil should be applied, if it says 740g of r134a and 100ml of oil plus or minus 10% then you have the old fill capacities and you need to do some revision. In May 1995 a TSB no. 996/207 was issued increasing the amounts to 1000g of r134a to improve cooling and 160ml of oil to prevent compressor damage. You will need to order a new yellow sticker from ford, part no.1 031 598, costing a few pence, to document the revised amount"
Hope that helps.
Geoff
