I don't think an oil problem had anything to do with the failure of the compressor. The bearing just died.

when you get the compressor, go to the auto parts store (if you aren't there already) and purchase some frigi-quiet or something of the sort, it looks like predator blood (if you've ever seen the movie) and you will probably use about 1 1/2 small bottles (they may be 4 oz? i don't know that off hand) and put them in the compressor before you install the lines.
