Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Just buy a recharge kit with the guage on the line. There are going to be ones that have the oil in them already so I would use that.

    You charge the system on the low pressure line wich is actually the big line in the front of you engine bay.

    Or you can get is done on a machine that vaccums the system out and adds oil, dye, and R134a but you will pay for it of coarse.

        the line is right behind radiator cap next to the Silver Bottle

        If it retrofitted it should have Red or Blue Cap and the Port is Big (easy connector) and Not threaded. Black cap is the factory one i think (R12)

        I heard once the adapter is in. It will be hard or impossible to take out.

              How many Can of the one with Oil i should pick up?

              i know the capacity is 29 OZ but because of R134a being High Pressure they recommended 85% of it to be file up so that about 24 OZ which is 2 Can

              I should pick up 1 Can of R134a with 1oz of OIL and 1 Can of Regular R134a??

                If it has been filled before you should already have the correct amount of oil still in the system. Two cans should do you fine though. Make sure you get one with a gauge.

                  If nothing has been done to the ac system since the compressor has been replaced Filling it up with a can isn't going to work.

                  You need to have the system put under vacuum first.
                  wat?

                          Well I'm pretty sure when the compressor was put in. They vacuum out all the stuff, put in R134a and OIL

                          Today i went and bought Arctic Freeze R134a and Fill it up. The can came with leak stopper and lubricant in it. $23 for 18oz not bad. My a/c blow pretty cool air but not ice cold just perfect.

                          I hope that is good enough

                          Thank everyone
