Yeah I hope your talking about refridgerent oil and not something else lol. If you got a flashing a/c light there should be a stored code. I forgot what terminals to jump ,but when the a/c light flashes count how many times it does. Search how to get the codes then see what the codes number's meaning is. Once that is done post anything that is a problem with better info so you have more responses.

ok so while driving i tried to count the blinks. i got up to 20 and it just seems that it just blinks. i also noticed that when it was not blinking it was not as cool as it was. i will put more fluid in and go from there. Should it be a code please let me know.
