My '94 SC needs a AC recharge. Does it take good old R12 or crappy new (but easier to obtain) R134a?
How many lbs/oz of 134 is equivalent to the factory charge on an 89??
Nothing wrong with R134, its good stuff. Freeze12 is a brand name like Kleenex is to Tissue paper, its actually R134 with another R chemical inside it (If you really want to know I can look it up), it is NOT R12, hence the name, Freeze12 is similar to R12, but it is not R12 - you can buy this at the Auto store on the shelf. Freon is a brand name also, but commonly referred to as R12 because thats what it is, manufactured by the Dupont corp. You can still buy R12 if you have a 609 Certification.
Be sure to replace your O rings and the Quick connect fittings before re-charging the system. I did my 94 SC last summer, and it was leaking at the fitting after we pulled it off the machine.
