Default Refrigerant charge in 1999 gs400

Hello all!
I replaced a leaking condenser coil yesterday. It was an easy install. The new condenser had the new filter dryer installed. I put 1.35 ounces of PAG 46 compressor oil in the new condenser and installed new Lexus Factory O-RINGS.

I'm ready to pump it down and add new R-134. The question is how much? I suspect a little under pounds, but can't be sure. I used to have a data tag under my hood that had the exact amount, but it blew off.

Does any owner of a 1998, 1999, or 2000 GS 300 or 400 still have this tag under the hood? I'm servicing my system using a Robinaire Refrigerant System, and I can program I the exact amount I need to put in. No surprises. If so, could you please post it?

Thanks much!

Glad to see you are doing it right... I'd imagine around 22-24 ounces, based on memory of my IS, but, hard to say... hopefully someone on here can chime in... if not, I'll check tomorrow at work...
