What type of freon does a 1993 cougar use
R-12 freon............
R-12
no, losing the manual would not cause the car to use freon.
r134a
OEM refrigerant which came installed in 1993 was Freon R12. I suggest you convert it to R134a if it has not already been converted. R12 is far to expensive.
There is many different types of Freon. If the freon that you are trying to use is R-22 then you have to have a EPA certification to handle that freon. This freon is considered ozone depleteing. Now there is freon out there that is not ozone depleting like the freon in cars made after 1993. That is called R-134a which is sold everywhere even in Wal-Mart.
Switch key into Aux position - push mode button and use up/down arrows to adjust the clock.
The 1993 Aerostar does not use R-134a. It uses R-12.
