No. The two chemicals have different temperatures, and different operation pressures. They also have different rates of evaporation, and require different drying chemicals in the accumulator/drier. R134a will dissolve R12 (freon) drying chemicals, resulting in damage to the system. R12 can be recovered by some shops certified for work with the chemical, but the pressures of R134a are far higher for operation, and in some cases require replacement parts on the condensor and evaporator, and potentially on the pump. (the accumulator has to be replaced in any case, but again, different chemicals required). The lubricant oil in the pump as well, has a different breakdown under R134, and requires replacement refrigerant oil.
All cars & trucks made in 1994 and after have to use R134 (federal regulations). 1993 & earlier use R12.
Hey Kristy==The system was origionally built to operate on R12. This is not available now and the system has to be converted to R134. GoodluckJoe
If you are using the little cans found in auto parts store attach adapter to low pressure side of A/C system to add charge. R134-A systems have different size valves to make it impossible to mix up the hi and low pressure sides.
Originally R-12 Should be converted to R134
Same thing
It uses R134a.It uses R134a.
28 ounces of R134a freon...............
R134aR134a
Freon is the trade name for R12. Your car contains R134 or R134a which is not Freon.
R134a, just like any other vehicle for that model year.
R134 .... IS freon.
Generally speaking that is the "R12 Freon" used in the air conditioning up until around 1995. After that R134 and R134a is used.
R134
R134a.
Unless it has been converted over to R134 it came with R12. I suggest you convert it to R134a. R12 is very expensive.
