How Much R-134a ?
Im looking at recharging my AC. But I cant find anywhere how much to use or how much it holds, or for that matter, get anybody to tell me. Over charging can be bad. What is stock "recommended" amount of freon "R-134a" 3 lbs?

Just go to Walmart and buy the kit that comes with the pressure gauge. Hook that up to the low pressure line. It will probably be empty. Then put part of the can in and hook up the gauge again. Do this until the gauge is in the range it needs, to be. Just buy the kit and follow the directions. It's really easy.
