    I remember reading about this a few years ago, and I just dug this bulletin up, definitely something for people to look into before replacing other components:

    Interesting, thanks for sharing.

    Clearly it's a good thing to consider if it's never been touched. Most shops though will go more based on pressure than actual pounds.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I go by pressure if I am topping up. If I am evacuating, flushing and refilling a system due to a repair, I go 70% based on weight, 30% pressure.

    I just topped mine up last week.
