The problem with using those is that there's supposed to be a certain amount of refrigerant in the system. In weight, not pressure. So if your system is low, you're adding blindly and run the risk of overcharging the system.
Thanks, I may have used the term "recharged" incorrectly. Perhaps "topped off" to raise a low refrigerant level would be more accurate.

Is there still a risk of overcharging in this case? If I have my INDY do the service, will they proceed any differently, albeit perhaps with a better set of gauges?
