There is very little difference in performance between R-12 and R-143A Freon oil. R-12 oil is more damaging to the environment while R-134A is less harmful.

Can you use 134 freon on 1990 Camry?
Not without converting the system to R-134a and replacing the compressor oil.
When recovering freon 134a and then recharging is any freon lost?
yes freon is lost, and take into account that along with the gas in a/c, there is a/c oil as well this oil is needed to transport the gas thru the system. so if you dumped the gas and refilled with out the oil, the a/c still is not going to work
Can you use 134a freon in a1991 Oldsmobile delta 88?
Only if you replace the Dryer, install adapters on the lines, and use compatible oil.
How much R134a freon is required in 2006 Chevy Equinox?
You can use up to 21oz of R-134a. But don't forget if you are needing to add R-134a you will also need to replace some of the oil also.

how much freon does a 2002 jeep cherokee limited hold
What is the difference between r134a and r134a plus?
The 134a plus just has PAG oil added already, so that you (theoretically) don't have to add it after adding the R134a.
Where do you go to recharge a 1986 Mercury Cougar with freon how much does it cost and would it be better to retrofit the car?
At this point it is almost impossible to find Freon 12 and if you CAN find it you will pay almost as much as the entire car is worth just to recharge the AC. Retrofitting is a good option at this point. Most AC technicians will try to convince you that it is a difficult and expensive process to convert your AC to 134A, but in reality most vehicles have no problem. The only real problem is the oil that is used to lubricate the compressor. Some of the AC oil used with Freon 12 does not work with 134A so the technicians will evacuate and flush your AC lines then add new oil and recharge the system. A GOOD AC technician will be able to help you and will know the difference. If you don't NEED to purge the old oil he will be able to let you know and you can get by with just a little 134A added to the AC and some new fittings.
How do you switch from r134a freon to r414b freon?
The manufacturers claim that R414B refrigerant (Freon is a registered trademark of Dupont, and it's only actually Freon is manufactured by Dupont) can be used as a replacement without modification and with the same PAG compressor oil. While, personally, I remain a bit skeptical of this claim, a look at the operating pressures of 414b vs. 134a gives no indication that a 134a system wouldn't be able to handle 414b. However, you cannot blend the two - you would have to have the R134a evacuated and recovered out of your system, then put in the R414b.
How much freon does a 2000 Chevy Metro hold?
It holds 1.32 lbs (or 21 oz) of 134a Refrigerant - when totally empty. The Denso A/C compressor holds 3 oz of PAG oil when drained off the car. Freon was the Dupont name for old Freon 12 (phased out back in 1982) and that refrigerant requires a license to buy today. So most people retro fit those older pre 1982 cars to run the new 134a.
Can you tell if a car has been converted to use R-134a freon?
There are two ways. The old R-12 A/C's have a "screw thread" style service fitting for adding refrigerant. These resemble a tire valve. R-134A systems use a "quick connect" type fitting with no external threads. These fittings are on stock R-134A and R-12 systems that have been retrofitted to R-134A. The purpose is to prevent someone from charging R-12 into an R-134A system and vice-versa. Also, retrofitted A/C's should have a label saying "Retrofitted to R-134A," or something to that effect. The label should also say the freon charge weight and type of oil in the system, usually a polyol ester oil (POE or ester) in retrofitted systems and a polyalkylene glycol (PAG) in stock R-134A systems. Look for both the "quick-connect" style fittings and retrofit labels on the vehicle in question.
