If you mean changing from R-12 freon to R-134, you don't. R-134 uses a different kind of oil and if you put that oil into your present A/C system it will eat through the seals, destroying the pump and everything. Sorry. I really dont think that is the case. Retrofit kits are available to convert to r134 and new O rings are part of it. Compressor oil is compressor oil, just because the refrigerant is different does not mean the oil is. The new refrigerant actually has poorer cooling abilities than r12 but is better for the environment.

Why should cost be discussed with the customer before retrofitting an air conditioning system?
Because a complete retrofit is a very expensive process, and someone driving a car old enough, for example, to have an R-12 system may not necessarily wish to spend that kind of money on such an old vehicle. Additionally, most customers would come in under the impression that a "magic bullet" exists which would allow them to to cheaply retrofit the system, when in fact there is no such thing.
