Default missing ac info sticker...

Hello all you cool cats, global warming is back in my neck of the woods and my 99 XJR is cooling but not as well as I remember.
I was planning to try a quick recharge with sealant built in but when I looked under the hood I seem to be missing the AC info sticker.
I would expect that the old girl uses 134a refer fluid but wanted to check here first.

Default answer found...sticker still missing...

welp, the AC Pro site had a nice "AC Specs" tab that went quite a ways back (well beyond 1999) that says my XJR wants 24 oz of R134a refrigerant.
I'll do a manual edit to my owner's manual for reference in the future.
Thanks.

I suspect the system may have had some residual 134a in the system. It is good to bring the
low side up to a least 40 psi and see how the system responds.

Buy the AC Pro set at your local supply store and follow the directions. Don't overfill it.
