How much freon does a 1996 Geo Tracker 4 x 4 take?

Answer 1

None as there is no Freon in a 1996 vehicle. This vehicle uses R134a refrigrant instead of R12 Freon. The amount needed depends on how much is missing. The proper guage is used to determine how much to install. I suggest you have it installed by a professional.

Actually, "freon" is not exclusive to R12 - "Freon" is a name trademarked by DuPont for a range of CFC and HFC refrigerants manufactured by them (including R12 and R134a). So, technically, it's Freon only if it's manufactured by DuPont and marketed under that name.

Your tracker requires 21 ounces (just a hair less than 1.32 lbs) of refrigerant.

Not really wanting to debate the issue because it is a mute point but R134a is not called Freon by Dupont. Freon is dichlorofluormethane and is referred to as Freon 12, R-12, or CFC-12 and has been banned. R-134a proper name is tetrafluoroethane. Dupont calls R-134a (Dupont SUVA R-134a Refrigrant). It is never referred to as Freon because it is not Freon. So I stand by my original statement.
