A/C Universal Compressor Oil and Leak Detection 900 1995

Several places, EEURO, FCP, and Amazon sell PAO Compressor Oil (w/ UV Dye) (500ml) by Behr
Fully synthetic PAO non-hydroscopic (won't absorb moisture) compressor oil with leak-detecting UV dye suitable for any A/C system. 500ml bottle.

Country of Manufacture: Australia
Manufacture Quality: OEM
Shipping Weight (lbs): 1.025

Will this work in a 1995 940 with, I believe, a Seiko compressor? The FAQS says the right oil must be used but since this is synthetic, would it be okay?

Also, I can't draw a vacuum on the A/C that stays long enough to put a charge in. What is the best way to find the leak? I have tried soap suds with the vacuum being continuously drawn but can't find anything and wonder if I really want to suck soap suds into the system. Any suggestions would be appreciated finding the leak(s). Would it work to put make up a pressure fitting that would connect to the Schraeder valve and then pressurize it to maybe 25PSI and then use soap suds?
