Nate007 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Can I put 134-a refrigerant in a r12 A/C system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine73 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Right on, also the PAG oil for 134a is not compatible with the mineral oil for R12.

SVX_commuter Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Heck I had my SVX changed over to 134A 6 years and 220k miles ago. As far as I know they drained and filled the system and changed the connection fitting. It’s been working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate007 Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 Thnaks for all the input. I just had it charged with R-12 yesterday and it blows frost out of the vents now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamal Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 how much did it cost you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Wow with R-12? Sweet. Did they have a secret stash? I thought that stuff hasn't been available for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruWagon87 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 It's available, just illegal to reproduce. Even though it'll never happen, I hope I come across a full tank of it, my boss said he'd pay $500 cash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faithless88 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 A soob dealer here can do it for $44 bucks a can. And that is for r-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Wow sounds like investing in R-12 years ago would have been better than .com's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
