Info needed- HDJ101 1HD-FTE R134A Refrigerant capacity

[GAbuildit]

Good morning! I have been searching Mud and the internet to find the R134A refrigerant capacity for my 1998 HDJ101 (no rear air or cool box) but have been coming up with several different numbers. Does anyone know the amount needed? I had the system evacuated in order to take the evaporator out and clean it.

Thank you!

Have you looked for a sticker under the hood that could contain this information?

I just recovered 15 oz out of my HDJ101 Front A/C only (single evaporator). Translation is not helpful

• カーエアコン システム → Car Air Conditioning System
• HFC134a 専用 → For HFC-134a only (R-134a refrigerant)
• 冷媒 HFC134a → Refrigerant: HFC-134a
• オイル ND-OIL 8 → Oil: ND Oil 8

If we trust chatGPT? asking HDJ1010014220 HFC134a capacity

Exact Refrigerant Capacity​

Front A/C only (single evaporator)

• 750–800 g (1.65–1.76 lbs)

Front + Rear A/C (dual evaporator — most HDJ101s)

• 900–950 g (1.98–2.09 lbs)

Oil Distribution (Total System ~120–150 ml PAG/ND-OIL 8)​

If fully dry system:

• Compressor: ~60–80 ml
• Condenser: ~20–30 ml
• Front evaporator: ~30 ml

hope it helps? I'm about to travel to iceland + france for 3x weeks of eating and spending fun bucks. rented a Toyota Land Cruiser 250 4x4 - Diesel while in iceland. should be fun.

once I get back I will be replacing my condenser, compressor + all the o-rings I can access. if you get a chance report back on this tread and how it goes, please.

Thank you! I could not figure it out prior to finishing the work but ended up going with 700g on the R134A and 40ml on the replacement of the Evaporator. Ice cold and running great.
