The recommended amount is located on an information tag on the underside of the hood (open the hood and look along the front edge of the hood, driver's side, near the battery, for the tag). The recommended amount on my 2002 Ford Escape XLT is 32oz. Which would be approximately: 2 1/2 cans of the r134 refrigerent (without sealer, 12 oz.) ...or... 3cans of the r134 refrigerent (with sealer, 10.5 oz.)Be sure to check your tag... I've also noticed that if the air conditioning unit is blowing hot or warm air at the onset (not cool), it must be fully charged to operate correctly. Adding only 2 cans to an empty unit allows the AC to blow cold for a day or two but it will soon blow hot again. Fully charging the unit (used 3 cans), has corrected this problem for me once and for all. The AC is charged and is staying charged. It has also stopped blowing hot at higher speeds (55 mph+)...which was a problem in the past. Total Cost (K-Mart): $27.00 plus tax. Plus, I have the high-pressure hose and adapter for future use.

Can you recharge the air conditioning yourself on your 2001 Pontiac grand am 2.4L?

It will have R134a...which you can buy without a license at any parts store. At the very least buy a recharge hose with a gauge so you can tell when you've got the right amount in it. It would be a good idea to check the system for leaks before putting a bunch of freon in it only to have it leak right back out.
