Can you recharge the freon in your 1995 cavalier?
Freon R12 refrigerant is so very expensive that I recommend you have the A/C converted to R134a. But first you must have the leak repaired. The shop will then remove any R12 left in the system, flush the system to remove the old oil, install fresh oil that is compatible with R134a, and charge the system. If there is any R12 left they may pay you to recover it.
How much do auto repair shops charge to add freon to your car?
Plenty!!! Freon (R12) is very expensive and is no longer in production. I suggest you have the system converted to R134a. The shop can recover the R12 and pay you for it. Make sure the leak is repaired before charging the system.Plenty!!! Freon (R12) is very expensive and is no longer in production. I suggest you have the system converted to R134a.

How can you get the old refrigerant out of a 89 Toyota pickup?
If the AC has not been retrofitted, it will have R12 refrigerant in it, which is illegal to release into the air. Most auto shops used to have a R12 recycling/recovery system, but most will not, because R12 is obsolete and VERY expensive. The shops will remove the freon from the low & high side schrader valves (like tire inflation valves). Once the freon is evacuated, they pull the system down with a vacuum. This makes it easy to introduce the new freon, which is R-134a (self charging lines are widely available for $10 & about $9 a can for freon. each car will have the recommended amount of freon, usually on a sticker on the accumilator.
How many valves are there to put freon in a 2000 ford expedition?
There is one valve that is used to add refrigrant. But you had better not add Freon. Freon is R12 and your vehicle's A/C system does not have Freon (R12) as a refrigrant. More than likely it uses R134a.

What does it take to convert a 1988 Honda Accord to R134 freon?
To convert an R12 system to R134 all of the R12 will have to be removed. The system will have to be completely flushed out then special additives installed. This is done due to the way the different Freon's react to the systems gaskets. After this is done then the system is ready to be set up with new Freon.
What type of freon does a '93 Honda Civic use?
I believe that car is on the R12 system. However, you can not purchase R12 freon unless you are a Certified Technician and you have your Freon card. So, what I have done in the past, is convert the system to R134A. You can do this by simply buying a Retro Kit for about $30.00 to $35.00 and you can complelety eliminate the old freon. If you are technically inclined, you should be fine doing this on your own. Otherwise, consult a professional, because A/C systems can be very touchy.
Freon for a 92 Mercury Sable?
The only freon available is R134a. Your car most like came with R12. That means it will have to have the system evacuated at a shop, and then be converted to the R134a. Look at the fittings where the freon is to be introduced to the system....if they are screw on, then your car needs to be changed over to the newer refrigerant....if they are quick connects, you simply need to add R134a.
