first read up on it then read the gauge... theres a cool new kit called "A/C recharging for dummies" at the parts store.. also Everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the library should have a professional shop manual available, for FREE, in the reference section(make copies of the correct sections) read up and fix it like a PRO! :) good luck-Dave
refrigerant 135a is the the standard freon used and sold at most auto parts/retail stores. You can even do it yourself.
The exact amount of Freon that needs to be added to a Kia Optima is unknown. This is because if Freon is needed there may be a leak and the car will need to be taken to a mechanic.
You take it to a professional, the freon you buy in the store is not what your car needs !
depemds on the car as how much freon it will hold. some cars have a tag saying how much freon the car is filled with. Too much freon is just as bad as not enough freon.
It varies from car to car. The best way to know for sure is to consult a qualified A/C shop. Good luck!

yes but you need to how much freon if may not be cost effective. Plus you need to know if it is the same type of freon.
take it to someone that can reclaim it
Yes you can have too much refrigerant in your A/C system and it will damage the system. The only way to know how much is in the system is to measure it by using a gauge.
all i know is that freon is put into air conditioning units in your car. it's what causes your A/C to be cold
the air coming from the vent is warm
You have to know what the problem is, before you can know the cost. Low Freon? $100. Bad AC compressor $5/600.Condenser, evaporator, hoses?
