As above, do you mean refridgerent (134A) or do you mean compressor oil?
Have you got the equipment to do it properly? (manifold, guages, vac pump etc.)
If its a system thats been open to the air, it really should be pressure tested with Nitogen and vacuumed out to remove any moisture (caused by it being open to the air). And when filling with refridgerent you need to put in the correct weight in, so you'll need ultra accurate scales to measure how much 134a you've put in.
You can get refil cans in the form of aerosols, but they are just that- refils! intended to top up an existing system that is still sealed to the atmosphere.
Without stating the obvious...have you tried your local BOC suppliers?

Your best plan is to get it filled by a professional with the refrigerant and the compressor oil too.
It you get it wrong you could ruin the compressor.
You can often find blokes who come around in vans to do it for you.
