Is there an amount of oz's that are needed for a recharge or does it go by a certain reading on your climate control? I just added the killer chiller and just have this left to do

Stock is 2.4oz iirc

With KC start off with 2.2oz and drive around then test, then add if needed, then again add if needed, continue until you find the best without going over 2.6oz

Make sure you change your dryer when you do the evac and vacuum
