Yes, sorry you must remove the compressor to drain the oil. I converted to Enviro-Freeze, a hydrocarbon refrigerant that does not require an oil change as it is compatible with the oil used in R-12 or R-134A. I pasted some info from thir web page on oil compatibility below.

Q: Is Enviro-Safe ™ Refrigerant compatible with all refrigerant oils?

A: Yes, Enviro-Safe™ is totally compatible with all refrigerant oil available today. It can be used with Mineral, Ester and PAG oils without incompatibility.

For $39.95 I purchased their kit, Charging hose, fitting convertors, and 18oz of Enviro-Freeze which was enough to do my 240. Conversion took 30 min and on the highway air from my vents get down to 36 deg F.
