If it blows cool but not cold air, 1 can should be enough. RA is the refrigerant you should use if your car is not too old. Do NOT buy it with stop leak in it. It could plug up the system so bad that you will need a technician to repair the damage. One can of Ra typically holds 12 oz. While the standard auto air conditioning system needs about three pounds of liquid Freon, the amount does vary, so check with your manufacturer or have your mechanic check.
An easy way to find it is to locate the larger of the two AC lines. The low-pressure service port on the larger line also has a smaller valve than the high-pressure port which is found on the smaller of the two lines. This makes it easy to avoid making mistakes when recharging your AC. Turn the key and start the engine. Turn your fans to the maximum air setting. Turn on your AC.
With the car still running, attach the coupler from your recharge kit to the low-pressure service port. Simply remove the cap from the port and push the coupler onto the port.
Make sure the can of freon is disconnected when testing your freon level. While pressure is engaged, at this point you will take your reading. Use the gauge that is attached to the hose to find out how much freon is in your AC unit. If the gauge shows refrigerant levels in the red zone, it means you have too much freon in your system, and this requires an entirely different service that may require a licensed technician.
If your pre-diagnosis was correct, you should expect the gauge to show your system having low or no freon. Disconnect the coupler from the low-pressure service port. Shake the can of RA freon for a few seconds and connect it to the gauge. Then reattach the coupler to the port the same way you did before.

Useful information. Workshop tips. AC recharge — safety information and professional handling. Refrigerant filling quantities and oil filling quantities. When refilling refrigerant and performing any work on the refrigerant circuit, please observe the following: Always wear protective goggles and gloves!
Under normal atmospheric pressure and ambient temperatures, liquid refrigerant evaporates so quickly that any physical contact with the skin or eyes can cause the tissue to freeze risk of blindness. If direct physical contact has been made, thoroughly rinse the affected areas with a generous supply of cold water. Do not rub. Seek the medical attention of a doctor immediately! How many cans of refrigerant does a car need?
One can of Ra typically holds 12 oz. If the system needs more refrigerant after adding one can, you can add a second can. How long does it take to recharge AC in car? What happens when your car runs out of freon? Frozen Compressor If no refrigerant exists in the system, it robs the compressor piston, valves and bearings of needed lubricant.
This worst-case scenario can happen while the engine runs and sometimes be accompanied by a loud rattling noise, clunk or metal-to-metal screech. Can a car lose Freon without a leak? In a properly sealed system the gas can continue being compressed and released over and over, so long as it doesn't leak out. What does it mean when your car AC blows hot air?
Hot air coming from your car AC vents can mean that you have low levels of refrigerant.
