A/C R-134a Quantity to Re-Fill

Hey I am about to re-charge my AC with R0134A Refrigerant but the manual only lists the quantity to refill it in oz which is 21.2-22.9oz (600-650g) but I need to know in PSI because that's how my friends gauge works as do most others. The car is a 99 Sedan. Quick Reply would be great if anyone knows.

Thanks in Advance

have a professional do it, it's only $80 to do it right. if you overfill it you'll damage the compressor. just have Buddah do it, or go to the dealer and pay a lil extra. lbs doesn't translate into PSI man it's not that simple.

Yeah I knew that.. just found it strange the the owners manual lists it in quantity and not in PSI like most other vehicles. In any case I am not risking it so I'll just take her to a shop.

They list the quantity to make it easier for the shop thats doing the job to know how much to put in, there machine takes care of the rest.
