WWest: that's by for the furthest from the truth about R12 and R134 you can be. If you care to look at the pressure/Temperature chart for both of these refrigerants you will see that they are very close. The manufactures of the refrigerants have to make the P/T as close as possible for the new refrigerants to the old refrigerants. Dupont cant just blend up some chemicals and say here use this now. The compressor is designed to handle refrigerant vapor at a specific density. Normal condensing temperature for most refrigerants is 110*F. R12 @ 110*=135 psig, R134a@110*F=145psig. Just change your oil to the new POE oil change the receiver/drier pull a good vacuum using a micron gauge if you know someone who has one. Charge it up with 134a and enjoy your cool air. I don't even know if my A/C works in my car, I have never tried it. It is like my radio. USELESS! I am an Industrial refrigeration mechanic.
