It is absolutly the same r134a Is r134a no matter how u look at it. But be careful the stopleaks and oring conditioner in the small. Over the counter cans cam be harmful to refrigeration equipment other than cars it's the additives in the refrigerant not that specify it's use I have used the smaller cans in a pinch to fix small refrigeration equipment but I buy the can that is free of the automotive additives(ussually the cheapest one on the shelf) unless I'm using it in a car

What is the difference between 134a and R134a refrigerant?
Same thing, R stands for Refrigerant.
When using R-134a refrigerant with UV dye as a liquid charge Can you use the same hose and adapter as with regular recharge?
the same hoses can be used. The dye only tints the Freon but does not hurt the hoses or the system.
Does the ac charge unit fit all types of vehicle low side service port?
They are universal across all types of vehicle for the refrigerant type.. e.g., older vehicles which used R-12 (CFC-12) refrigerant all had the same R-12 schrader valves, and all vehicles with an R-134a (HFC-134) system have the same R-134a schrader valves. This is as they come from the factory... vehicles owners may often change this. For example, an R-12 system converted to R-134a might still retain the R-12 schrader valves.
How do you lubricate auto AC?
The PAG oil gets injected through the same schrader valves the refrigerant is charged into and recovered from.
Can you use the same coolant in car and home air conditioners?
Refrigerant - not coolant - and no, they are not compatible.
What is the replacement for freon in air conditioning system?
"Freon" is a trademark of DuPont for their CFC and HFC refrigerants. Thus, if you actually have Freon as manufactured by DuPont, then the replacement would be the same type of refrigerant manufactured by any other manufacturer. For example, if you had a car with an R-12 (CFC-12) air conditioning system, then you would only replace it with R-12. Same thing if you have a car with an R-134a (HFC-134) system - you can only replace it with R-134a. Never mix refrigerants and never use a refrigerant other than the type specified for your system.
Is e insurance right for both home and auto?
E insurance has good ratings for home and auto insurance. It is usually wise to carry home and auto insurance together with the same company to receive discounted rates.
What R-134a refrigerant charged systems should be leak checked with?
If you suspect a leak the remaining refrigerant should be recovered and the system should pressurized with dry nitrogen and a bubble solution made for system leak detection. In the shop, we'd recharge it with R-134a to the manufacturer's specified fill level. Then we'd do a system performance test with the manifold gauge set to determine if there is a deficiency, and to narrow down where it may be. From that point, we'd go over potential trouble spots with a halogen leak detector, including going inside the AC vent next to the passenger side door in order to test the evaporator. There are places in an AC unit and with certain vehicles where the visible bubble test isn't feasible, as you can't see those areas very easily. I would strongly discourage the dry nitrogen test. It doesn't generate the same system pressure as R-134a refrigerant would, and it doesn't carry the compressor oil the same way R-134a does, which could potentially lead to lubrication problems with your compressor.

What is refrigerant compatibility?
Refrigerant compatibility refers to different types of refrigerant being compatible. Not all air conditioners use the same type of refrigerant and not all refrigerants are compatible in every air conditioner.
If driving a car with no insurance will home owners insurance cover you?
Not in the UK. It is probably the same elsewhere in the world Home insurance will cover your legal liability, but not while driving a auto. Hence auto insurance. the best u can get out of ur home insurance is maybe ur contents in an auto accident.
What type of freon for 1993 Mazda Protege?
If not factory supplied R-134A, it will have to be converted to same.
