[DeTomaso] Stock A/C recharge - anyone try Red Tek 12a ?

[Carguy60]

Ok thanks Charles,

So I looked on my local CL and found someone with the following for sale:

6 cans R-12 oil charge (2oz. Oil + 2oz R-12) $10/ea
2 cans pure R-12 refrigerant (14 oz, no dye) $20/ea
1 can R-12 leak detector.  $10

How much does our car need?  The "oil charge" or just the "pure"

Thanks for your help!
