Depends on how much is in it now. Does it work at all? Has the system been opened? Should be a label under the hood that tells you how much the entire system holds, and how much oil it should get as well.

This is off a 2002 4.7, but i dont see why the a/c system would be drastically different.


Keep in mind if the system was opened you need to vaccum it down and make sure it holds a vacuum before recharging it if you want it to work as designed, not usually a DIY job (unless you happen to have access to a pretty strong vacuum pump)

A new filter drier is a good idea if it's been exposed to air for this long too.
