Absolutely. You can pick up a conversion kit complete with refrigerant for about 35.00 at Wal-Mart. I have done it successfully on 3 vehicles. Just be careful to capture the R-12 and not release it into the atmosphere.

Unless it has been converted to R134, the OEM refrigerant installed in 1991 was R12 Freon. I suggest you have it converted to R134 if it has not already been done.


How do you know if r12 freon is in vehicle?

If if it a 1995 or older then it came with R12 installed. 1996 can be R12 or R134. 1997 up, it has R134/R134a. If you suspect it had R12 look for a label somewhere on the A/C unit signifying it has been converted. If you find it has R12 and is leaking and needs repairing, after the leak is repaired, convert it to R134a. R12 is far too expensive to use.

It came from the factory with R12. Due to the cost of R12 I suggest you have it converted to run on R134. Have the leak fixed and convert it to R134 and save yourself some big money. R12 is no longer in production, and is very, very, expensive.

Putting freon in 95 ford windstar?

Don't. R12 is so very expensive that you should have your vehicle converted over to use R134. You have a leak or you would be needing to add refrigerant. Have the leak repaired by a professional and have the system converted over to R134. The will remove all R12 & the oil from the system and replace it with R134 & the correct oil. They should pay you for the R12 due to how valuable it is. You may end up spending very little on this repair.


Can you put R12 in a R134 system?

If you mix r12 with r134 air conditioning system, it will cause a high pressure in your airconditioning system and eventually damage the compressor and the evaporator. R12 is only for r12 aircon and something with r134, it can't be mix.
