Is r-22 Freon compatible with r-134a freon?
No , they operate at different pressures and are not compatible.
No it's not. R22 is designed for use in home HVAC systems where as R12 is intended for automotive systems. Using R22 in an automobile will cause swelling of seals and hoses, possible compressor failure due to different running pressures.

Most new equipment is built for and charged with R410a, a refrigerant with much higher pressures than the R22 used for decades, R22 units are still available, dry charged however, you must fill them with R22 onsite. This is how new R22 compatible equipments being sold still.
The simple answer is that an R12 system wasn't designed for R22. There are different pressures reached, there are different compressor oils used, and R22 may not even be compatible with a compressor designed for R12. Changing an R12 system to R22 could be done, but it would require extensive conversion, and would still be undesirable - R22 is being phased out, largely because it's a carcinogen and because of the harsh environmental effects.
Wal-Mart do not have r22 freon, this is a false ad.
Chemical composition and properties, different system pressures, different pressure/teperarature relationships in when they'll change states from liquid to vapor... you never mix refrigerants, period.
