Which freon to use?

By Loaf31
- Fri Jul 10, 2015 11:15 pm #354622 I have a 93 EG8 Sedan and need to refill my freon. Does anyone know which type to use? I've seen people say r12 and others say r134. Can someone clear it up? Thanks guys :thumb:

If first question, check to see if you have any leaks...usually o-rings. Afterwards, check your LOW side pressure port. R-134 uses a different sized port and will only fit that one. If it hasn't been converted and still has the
R-12 port, find a place to get it refilled. Hope that helps

Thanks! :D
The car sat for 7 years before I got workin' on it, so it's safe to say the AC Hasnt worked in 9 years.
I just recently got a new AC Belt and may not even need to recharge the freon, but if I do, I just wanna know which one to use.
I'll check in the morning! Thanks a bunch! :thumb:
