R134A is the only approved refrigerant for automotive use.
One may purchase R134a refrigerant from auto supply retailers. These include NAPA, Parts Source and Canadian Tire. Some stores such as Walmart may also have these in the automotive section.
No, you cannot directly replace R404A with R134A, as they have different properties and applications. R404A is a blend designed for low-temperature refrigeration, while R134A is typically used in medium-temperature applications, such as automotive air conditioning. Using R134A in a system designed for R404A could lead to inefficiency, inadequate cooling, and potential damage to the system. Always consult with a professional technician before making refrigerant changes.

Automotive shocks and struts are charged with Nitrogen gas. Automotive air condition systems are charged with r134a refrigerant gas.
R134a is a refrigerant gas
r134a is a refrigerant (freon) added to the air-conditioning system. It has no color, but can be purchased with a dye (usually red) in it to detect leaks in the system.
No, R134b and R134a are not the same refrigerant, and R134b is not a direct drop-in replacement for R134a. While both are similar in terms of their chemical structure, they have different properties and performance characteristics. Using R134b in a system designed for R134a may lead to inefficiencies or damage. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications before making any refrigerant substitutions.
You really need to flush out the old stuff. But any garage can do it if they will.
