the information stickers under the hood tell you, but if they're missing look at the service ports. R12 has smaller ones. they are located on the a/c lines. unscrew the caps...if there are threads on the outside of the service port it's R12, and if your ports look like air compressor couplings you have R134. both styles have valves in the center, but the R12 sticks out more and resembles a tire valve.

R12 was banned in 1995. Any vehicle from 1994 back will have R12. Any vehicle from 1996 to today will have R134, R134a, etc. A 1995 may have R12 or R134. Any car that has been retrofitted, even if it is older then 1994 may not have R12. If it was retrofitted it should have a label stating this.
What type of freon is used on a 1998 Honda accord ex?
Your car should use R134a. The manufacturers switched in the early 90's. The easy way to tell is have a look at the sticker under your hood. Every car I've looked at has a sticker that says some basic emissions data, engine size, and the type of refrigerant used. The other way to tell is to look at the two charge ports. You'll find them on the silver coolant lines, under large plastic plugs that look like tire valve caps. R134a systems will have a quick disconnect fitting (a ridge, not a thread). R12 will have threaded fittings for the hose. If you have a car that uses R12, it should be converted to R134a. The process isn't very hard, and the parts are available at most auto parts stores, if you have a vacuum pump and recovery unit. A R12 to R134a conversion kit comes with fitting converters, a flush kit (you can NOT mix R12 and R134a. Bad things happen to your equipment), and the recharge freon and oil.

Plenty!!! Freon (R12) is very expensive and is no longer in production. I suggest you have the system converted to R134a. The shop can recover the R12 and pay you for it. Make sure the leak is repaired before charging the system.Plenty!!! Freon (R12) is very expensive and is no longer in production. I suggest you have the system converted to R134a.

Freon for a 92 Mercury Sable?
The only freon available is R134a. Your car most like came with R12. That means it will have to have the system evacuated at a shop, and then be converted to the R134a. Look at the fittings where the freon is to be introduced to the system....if they are screw on, then your car needs to be changed over to the newer refrigerant....if they are quick connects, you simply need to add R134a.
