try this site if you have any questions on recharging your a/c system

http://www.aircondition.com/wwwboard/

I learned a lot there, of note

1. the high side pressure is very important when charging 2.2 times the outside air temp.

2. charge with only R-134a no oil added

3. charge with only PAG 150 wt oil(comes in a can 2oz oil 2oz R-134a per 12 oz R-134a put into system. DO NOT USE THE ESTER OIL UNLESS YOUR SYSTEM IS ALREADY FILLED WITH IT. some newer systems use ester oil.

the sticker under the hood will tell you the amount your system needs for full charge.

4. buy a guage and hose set paid $27.00 for mine it takes the guess work out of the job.

keep cool
