Adding A/C Oil

I'm about to tackle the dreaded evaporator core but have a quick question. The FSM says that when the evap is replaced, to add 2oz. of PAG 100 oil (I'm doing the accumulator as well and it calls for 4oz.) so I have a total of 6oz. to add to the system. HOW DO I DO THIS? I was thinking of just using an eye dropper or something and dropping 2oz. into the evap before I put it in and 4oz. to the accumulator but is there a preferred way to do this? I don't wanna screw it up and the FSM doesn't really specify a method......
 
the oil is mixed with the freeon as it is circulating throught the system, most recovery/charge machines add the oil as it is being charged, if u are adding your own freeon, u can pour the oil into system before connecting th ehoses
 
If the compressor doesn't have a fill hole, I put it in the hose, then push it in with freon. They actually have a tool for this. You can drain the accumulator and see how much oil comes out, it can migrate.
