I already know someone is going to disagree. With that said,,,,,You need PAG oil (parts store can getyou right weight). Get 8oz can & add 4oz.Thenfill w/134 at 85%of 12 amount.For example, if your car holds 2 lbs of r12 charge it w/1.7 of r134. Charge amount will be listed underhood.

I won't disagree with that

I will say that the vehicle's R12 capacity is 36oz which works out to be 2.25lbs which works out to be about 1.9lbs of R134a
