Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them. Be sure to use the correct O-rings for HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.

Immediately after using the oil, reinstall the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
