That's enough to warn me off. the charges are so small on cars these days that those cans should not be used anymore. the car is so new that you should have the system serviced only by toyota. they may be costly but one screw up by you can be even more costly. i have my own service equipment and i would not attempt any ac work without it.

From: qslim on 30 Jun 2007 20:24 I've been under the hood of Toyotas for about 7 years, now I work on jets. I follow the same guideline as Ray. Since I no longer have the equipment at my disposal, I pay to have my ac service done with the proper equipment. Sure, I may ballpark some refrigerant into my 76 Marquis with a hose set and a few cans, but you can crank butane into those old systems and be good to go. My newer daily driver? No way.
