Yes, to avoid overcharging like I said just put about 1/3 of a can in there. I think a can is 12 oz. so that should be about 4 oz. That's a very small amount. Even if you were to slightly overcharge by a couple oz. it's not going to kill anything. If after 4 oz. you sense there is progress being made, you can proceed with adding a little more, maybe an ounce at a time. The key is to do so VERY slowly, maybe take an hour to do this whole process. And don't turn the can upside down - liquid refrigerant hitting the valves in the compressor will surely kill it. If things appear to be going too slowly, just put the can over the engine where heat will cause it to evaporate more rapidly from the can into the system.
