Can a car using R12 refrigerant use R134?
You would have to replace the orifice tube, accumulator or receiver-drier (which one you have depends on what type of AC system you have), as well as remove all of the R12 refrigerant, and you'd have to replace the compressor oil with PAG.
Will R134A freon work in 89 Chevy truck?
It's only Freon if it was manufactured by DuPont, but to the important things... Your 89 would have had an R12 system from the factory. You can't use R134a in an R12 system unless you do at least a partial retrofit (evacuate all the R12 and compressor oil, replace the orifice tube, replace the accumulator, replace the hose connections, add PAG oil and R134a).
Can you use R12 instead of R134a?
You can't simply put R134a into an R12 system. You'd have to, at a minimum, change the hose connections and change the oil to PAG. the proper method to retro fit involves adding new charge port adapters, changing the oil in the compressor, and replacing the drier/accumulator. I know a lot of mechanics who do nothing more than add the port adapters and shoot in some extra pag oil.
What type of freon goes in a 1987 chevy chevette?
It came from the factory with R12 but as R12 is extremely expensive I recommend you have the system converted to use R134a.
How much r-134 do you use when converting from r-12?
The same amount is used as an R12 system.
Can you obtain R12 refrigerant for a 1987 Chrysler 5th Ave?
R12, if still available at your local parts store (requires a license), is very expensive. It is cheaper to retrofit the system to use r134a.
Why cant you add r12 to r134 what happens?
Why would you want to even consider doing this? R12 is no longer in production and as such it cost almost 4 times as much as R134. But to answer your question, use R12 in a R134 system and you will destroy the compressor as the oil is not compatible with R134 oil.
Can you charge your AC with R12 freon yourself?
You have to have a permit to buy R12 and it is very expensive. Any system that uses R12 can use 134 the replacement for R12. You will need adapters that screw onto the old fittings that accept the hose that hooks to the 134 can. You add freon to the low side of the system. The adapter are different sizes so you cannot put it in the high pressure side. Yes, if you have any mechanical knowledge at all, you should be able to charge the system without much trouble. OR you can buy all the R12 you like for cheap from Mexican sources and keep the longevity of your original equipment and lower operating pressures of R12. They way your system was designed. R12 comes in everyday by the truckload thanks to our new open border laws.
What kind of freon is use of a 1993 geo primz?
It doesnt matter the only available refrigerant is R134a and if you have an R12 system it must be retrofitted R134 is about $20 a pound and R12, if you can find it, is about $150 a pound
When replacing AC compressor in 1997 Chevy cavalier 2.4 liter How much compressor oil do you use?
8 ounces of PAG 46 ...replace the drier/accumulator and orifice tube as well.Flush out the condensor also. You can use PAG 100 (i have pag 100 in one of my 97's and itseems to put out better than the other 97 with pag 46, but we will have to wait and see which last longer) but a service bulletin came out a couple years ago from GM, telling the dealships to go to the pag 46....But, all pag oil is compatible with all pag oil. For example: 4 oz. of pag 50 + 4 oz. of pag 150= 8 oz. of pag 100... DONT USE THE PAG 150...IT IS JUST TOO THICK for this compressor....If you have a hard time getting it all inside the compressor,pour the remaining oil into the hose that goes from the drier to the compressor.(suction side...where you add 2-12 oz cans of 134a) Then turn it by hand about 12 revolutions.... And dont forget to evac the air from the system. A/C systems cost toooo much to cut corners trying to save 10 bucks.
What type of freon can you use in a dodge dynasty?
It was built with R12, can be coverted to R134aIt was built with R12, can be coverted to R134a
Does the 2004 vw jetta use freon?
No, the A/C system on a 2004 uses R134a, an alternative to freon (R12) which was phased out in the 1990s.
