R12 was banned in 1995. Any vehicle from 1994 back will have R12. Any vehicle from 1996 to today will have R134, R134a, etc. A 1995 may have R12 or R134. Any car that has been retrofitted, even if it is older then 1994 may not have R12. If it was retrofitted it should have a label stating this.

What kind of freon would you use in a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan?
Freon is the trade name for R12. Your car contains R134 or R134a which is not Freon.
How do you know if your car uses R12 or R134A?
the information stickers under the hood tell you, but if they're missing look at the service ports. R12 has smaller ones. they are located on the a/c lines. unscrew the caps...if there are threads on the outside of the service port it's R12, and if your ports look like air compressor couplings you have R134. both styles have valves in the center, but the R12 sticks out more and resembles a tire valve.
How well does R-134a work in a 1992 Chevy S-10 Blazer?
It came out with R12 and needs to be converted for R134. DON'T MIX THEM. My car with 134R cools as well as any car with R12. I switched my '92 Blazer S-10 over and have been very happy with it.
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.
What refrigerant does the 1995 Chevy Lumina use?
This will be listed somewhere on the unit or in the owner's manual. 1995 was the last year of production of R12 so your car may have R12 or R134. If it needs service, this is not a DIY job. You have neither the expertise not the tools to do this safely and correctly. Take it to a pro.
What type of refrigerant is used on a 1992 ford escort?
Originally might have had R-12 (depending on date of mfg.) should be converted to R-134A you do have R12 refrigerant unless it has already been retrofitted to R134 and then it should be indicated by the person who retrofitted the car. look for a sticker saying R134
What does it take to convert R12 ac to R134 in 1990 buick century?
I would suggest you take the car to a professional for the conversion. It is illegal to release R12 into the atmosphere. R12 is very expensive and it can be recovered with the proper equipment. You also need to have the oil changed in the compressor. You would not be considering this unless you had a leak. That leak must be repaired before charging the system. You may be able to work a deal with the shop, where the recovered R12 may pay for the conversion. Any R12 left in the system is valuable, so remember that when talking to a professional.
Where can you purchase R12 Freon for older cars?
The simple way is to remove the R12 and install R134A. by a kit with that will have a hose, R134A with oil. The new oil may plug your leaks. or go to Mexico and cross the border and buy R12 in 12 oz cans The border guards may take your R12 cans when you come into USA. or Drive your car into Mexico and have them fill your system with R12.
Where can you find a diagram for installing freon on a 1995 Pontiac Grand Am?
It should be the same as my 92. Under front of the car coming from compersor is a large line. On that line (low side line) is the low presure fitting,this where you put R134 or R12,which ever one you allready have in the car.If not allready R134 I would convert it.R134 is alot cheaper.
Where do you put the freeon in a 2000 Chevy Tracker?
Your car contains no Freon R12, it contains R134 which is not Freon. If you need to add refrigerant then you have a leak. It is illegal to add refrigerant without first repairing the leak. Take it to a professional and get the leak repaired.
What type of Freon does a 1994 Buick Le-sabre have?
R-134, cars built '93 and prior used R12. However bear in mind that '93 vehicles were a mixed bag of both, some used R12, others R134, and your car could be a '93. One more thing, AC stuff should really be left to the profesionals, not the home mechanic.
