Freon capacity with dual air. Several sites say 3.5 lbs and then some say 4 lbs. I really would like to know what is the proper capacity according to GM specs. The sticker is missing.

Good evening,

The capacity is 3.5 pounds as the previous tech stated.

Make sure you recover the system and evacuate the system for at least 45 minutes, then add 1 ounce of oil and charge the system to 3.5 pounds.

If the system is low, you should check for a leak in the system as well. I attached a guide for you for the procedure.
