I believe it is around 3 1/2#.
The 1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme uses R12 freon and needs 36 ounces. R12 is no longer being made, but is still being recycled and is still available through online auctions.
Low freon, bad compressor, bad clutch, bad pressure switch (could be multiple of these), bad switch...the list goes on. Best bet is to take it to a mechanic for a diagnosis.
Low pressure line Larger line running from compressor
R12 unless it has been retrofitted. I would suggest have it changed, as the cost of R12 is prohibitive.
The freon input point on a 1994 Olds Cutlass 3100 V6 is located behind the air filter box assembly.
all vehicles use R-134 type refrigerant since the mid-1990's. the government banned r-12 freon. if the car had r-12 you can get a kit to change it over at any parts store.

most cars use about two cans of r12 refrigerant but a qualified tech should be checking your a/c
A factory GM system which uses R134a Freon...........
The 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme holds 32 ounces of refrigerant. These models require R-134a Freon. This was used for all Cutlasses from 1994 to 1996.
To add freon to a 1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass, locate the low-pressure service port on the air conditioning system. This port is typically found on the larger diameter aluminum line between the compressor and the evaporator. Remove the cap, attach the refrigerant can's hose to the port, and follow the instructions on the can to add freon while the AC is running. Always ensure you are using the correct type of refrigerant for your vehicle, which is R-134a for this model.
The 1999 Oldsmobile Alero does not have Freon in the A/C system. It contains R134 and not Freon which is R12. As I am sure you do not have the proper equipment to recharge the system plus the fact it is illegal to add refrigerant to a system with a leak, until the leak is repaired, take it to a professional and have the leak repaired. You have a leak or you would not need to add refrigerant.
