According to my Bently, 86 and newer Vanagon ACs need 50.75 oz of Freon.
Freeze-12 recommends 90 percent of the Freon charge which would be 45.675
oz.  I used approx 45 ounces and like the results.  The Freeze-12 that I
aquired came in 12 oz cans so I had a little left in the 4th can.

I don't know the required charge for the 85 and older Vanagons (Bently
always seems to be at the other location) but with the smaller compressor
and shorter hoses I think it is less.

Just guessing, but I don't think you can put 84 oz of Freeze-12 in a
Vanagon.  Ken would know.
