What kind of Freon do I need?
There are two types of refrigerant or freon – the first one is called R12, while the other one is R134a. So, a good rule of thumb is if you own a vehicle that is newer than 1995 your engine should take R135a refrigerant, but if you have a vehicle older than 1995 you are going to be purchasing R12 refrigerant.
What type of freon do old cars use?
All classic car original air conditioning systems were filled with dichlorodifluoromethane or R-12/CFC-12 Freon. Even newer cars used the standard R-12 until the EPA, under section 609, in an attempt to reduce atmospheric ozone depletion, mandated that manufacturers phase out its use by the end of the 1994 model year.
What kind of Freon does a Chrysler 300 take?
Not all maintenance procedures are that complex, however. Recharging a Chrysler 300’s R-134a Freon level is fairly simple and can be done by any home mechanic. Recharging kits can be purchased at most automotive retailers, and the process does not consume a lot of time.

| 2002-2004 | All Engines | 25.00 |
| 2001 | All Engines | 25.00 |
What refrigerant can be mixed with R-22?
R-407C
The most commonly mixed refrigerants in the field are the replacements for R-22 — R-427A, R-438A, R-422D, and R-407C — which are often combined with the remaining R-22 in the system, said Maiorana.
How much oil do I put in my AC compressor?
The compressor of the AC system is likely to have specifications regarding the amount of oil to be added. If you are adding too much oil, you should definitely check the owner’s manual. The AC system requires a Usually of 4 ounces (120 ml) of oil in most modern automobiles.
What if AC pressure is too high?
When the pressure of the AC system is too high this might indicate a leakage or diminishing amount of refrigerant, both of which require immediate attention. If the AC temperatures are abnormally warm, this could indicate an issue with the compressor that might need repair or replacement.
How do you recharge the AC on a 2006 PT Cruiser?

Can you add Freon to a Chrysler Concorde?
The A/C system in your Concorde consists of a compressor that is belt-driven, an evaporator and freon. If there is a problem with your compressor or evaporator, adding freon will not restore cooling. How to add freon to your 2002 Chrysler Concorde: hook up the can of refrigerant (likely r-134a) to the low pressure port.
Can a refrigerant be added to an A / C system?
Most refrigerants include a leak sealer that will seal small leaks in addition to filling the R134a refrigerant. The A/C system in your Concorde consists of a compressor that is belt-driven, an evaporator and freon. If there is a problem with your compressor or evaporator, adding freon will not restore cooling.
Why is my 2002 Chrysler Concorde blowing hot air?
When the air conditioner in your 2002 Chrysler Concorde starts blowing hot air, you likely have a freon leak. Recharging the freon in your AC system is an inexpensive and easy first step to restoring the cooling capacity of your A/C system.
