Passage of the Clean Air Act. R-12 depletes the ozone - R-134a does not.
No, you should not mix R134a and R12 refrigerants in a 1993 Buick LeSabre or any other vehicle. Mixing these refrigerants can lead to system damage and reduced efficiency, as they have different chemical properties and pressure requirements. If you need to convert from R12 to R134a, it's essential to properly evacuate the system and replace any necessary components to ensure compatibility. Always consult a professional for refrigerant conversions.
No, you should not mix R12 and R134a refrigerants. R12 is a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) that is being phased out due to its harmful environmental effects, while R134a is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) that is more environmentally friendly. Mixing them can lead to system damage, reduced efficiency, and environmental concerns. Always use the refrigerant specified for your system.
You can't, you need to have the system switched over to use refrigerants R12a or R134a, because the refrigerant R12 is now banned.
No you don't have to change the A/C Compressor.

No. They use R22 or R410A. Cars use R12 (before 1993) and R134A (after 1993). You cannot mix them together.

R134a.
R12 was in use up until the 90's when R134A was introduced. I believe R12 was phased out at the end of 94, And R134A took it's place from 95 on. I hope that's the answer you're looking for.
