How often to refill your freon?
I brought the car to the dealer recently because my a/c is acting up (driver blows hot air and passenger blows cold air in cold weather). They said my freon is low (i think he said ~0.5lb) and they added a dye to see if there's any leak and I just got a call saying that there's no leak. I'm confused why my freon will be low when the system is an enclosed system. I have an 2007 TL with ~72000 miles. Is this normal?
I did have similar a/c problem around ~50000 miles and brought it in to the dealer and once they said it was fine and another time they said it was normal. Since I have extended warranty, I want to make sure there's nothing wrong and its not just the dealership trying to make temporary fix.

if one side blows hot and the other blows cold, it could be that your temperature door actuator is broken... This is the exact problem I had on my other car. The electric motor that opens/closes the driver temperature door was broken, so the driver side was always blowing warm air.

In all my years of driving and cars I've owned, I've never had to recharge / replace freon.

The hot one side, cold the other scenario is not related to the charge as there is a mechanical problem with the door activation system.
There is a way to pull the HVAC error codes manually:

I have 3, 30lb containers of the R-12 in the garage as 2 of the cars I have still have the factory R-12.
As I stated earlier, the addition of refrigerant into the existing system isn't going to change the hot/cold condition inside the cabin, and if it did it was purely coincidental.
