Oil change Panasonic 5KS225EAA21

Hi,
my conversion project is going on. Since the Mini Split AC System I'm using was a long time out of service (to be honest, it is almost new but was years without refrigerant) I assume, that the System has to be flushed and the oil has to be changed. I have the Compressor out of the System and drained the oil. I know, that the last "2" in the Compressor Tag stands for PVE Oil. That is bad, since it is very very very expensive.... My System is a R410A System and i would like to get advice, if it would be possible to change over to POE Oil and what would have to be done regarding flushing to do so. If anybody knows the exact specification and amount of the Oil that is needed (I know that an almost similar Panasonic Compressor with a little less displacement of 215 instead of 225 needs 750ml). I hope that my question is not too dumb :-)
Thx for your advice!
