It's actually a gas, and it's known as refrigerant - depending on model year, it may be CFC-12 (R12) or HFC-134 (R134A). A lot of people call it Freon, but it's sort of a misnomer.. Freon is a trademark name by Dupont for a line of CFC and HFC refrigerants they manufactured, so it's not actually Freon unless Dupont made it and marketed it under that name.

Refrigerant which is R134a today, and compressor oil. Older cars (pre-1995) may have R12 refrigerant.
