Yes, you do have the r4 compressor (Radial, 4 cylinder). PAG oil is great for retrofits of 134a where r12 once was. Be sure to flush all lines, evaporator, POA valve, condenser, etc. Drain the compressor of old oil and add some with the front facing down, through the inlet port and rotate the drive a few times. This lubes the front seal. They even make a retrofit vavle with a compressor cycling switch to replace the POA valve that is usually no good anyway.
