Does anyone know what type of ac oil would be used in a 2000 Taurus? They have several different types at the auto parts but the people at the counter are clueless about which type to use.

Several different types, or PAG and Ester oil? Any car sold in the US after 1994 will use R-134a refridgerant. PAG oil is for use with R-134a, Ester for the old R-12. I'm not aware of any other types of refridgeration oil for use with automotive A/C systems.

They have different types of pag oil, like pag 100, pag 150 etc. I was thinking of calling the dealer but they will probably tell me I need to buy it from them at an inflated price.

Interesting. I don't have the service manual for the 2000 model year Taurus, so I can't offer help there. For 2002 model year, the factory service manual calls for
Refrigerant Lubricant PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R-134a Systems) F7AZ-19589-DA (Motorcraft YN-12-C) WSH-M1C231-B in case that's of any help.
