If if it a 1995 or older then it came with R12 installed. 1996 can be R12 or R134. 1997 up, it has R134/R134a. If you suspect it had R12 look for a label somewhere on the A/C unit signifying it has been converted. If you find it has R12 and is leaking and needs repairing, after the leak is repaired, convert it to R134a. R12 is far too expensive to use.
Freon (R12) has not been installed in any vehicle since 1995.
There is one valve that is used to add refrigrant. But you had better not add Freon. Freon is R12 and your vehicle's A/C system does not have Freon (R12) as a refrigrant. More than likely it uses R134a.
Freon (R12) is no longer in production, and by law has not been used in any vehicle since 1995.
1997 =============================================================== I know that my 1993 Ford Explorer took R12 , but my 1995 takes R134a
You cAnt sorry
YOU don't! If your system is R12 (freon)it should ONLY be serviced by a professional. The way to determine is if you have quick-couple service fittings, it is 134A (not freon) equipped, if it has threaded service fittings, it is R12 (freon) equipped. When you take the vehicle to a professional, he will convert your R12 system (if it is so equipped) to 134A. R12 (freon) has not been manufactured since 1995 by law (Montreal Accord) and it is VERY hard to find. A license is required to purchase R12 and it may not be legal to sell in your state. Mark---Raleigh, NC Actually Freon is a registered trade name or trademark for E. I. DuPont. It is not strictly R-12. R-134a is commonly called Freon.
