Default Do I need to add oil to my new condenser/compressor unit?

I just installed a new dry condenser/compressor 3.5 ton unit. It uses R-22
Freon. I silver soldered the tubes in and charged the system and it works
good, but was thinking with a dry unit (not pre-charged like the last one I
bought 10 years ago) do I need to add oil or is it already in the compressor?
I need to know so I don't burn it up.

Where on earth did you get an R-22 AC system? What country are you in? ヽ(ヅ)ノ

Not sure what the rules are today, but not too long ago you could still buy R22 components, but not packaged, whole systems. Which would explain why it's dry. Why you'd want to just replace the condenser is another story.
