99 250 V10, Does it take 134??

Not an ac guy, but my compressor does not seem to be working. It worked fine 4 months ago when it was hot no all the sudden, nothing works. I figured all the charge may have leaked out, and I was going to put a shot into to see if that would get the compressor going. Does the v10 take 134, and will this work. Any ideas.

There's a sticker on the core support or somewhere under the hood on all vehicles since the early 80s (or before) that identifies the exact refrigerant charge.

Thanks again guys, that worked but there is a leak somewhere, I put UV dye in it to find the leak, hope it's not too expensive. But it's got to be done, it gets pretty hot down here in TX.

Another dollar saved with the help of some friendly people.
