In my car, where do I place the Freon?
Remove the hood.
2. Find the refrigerant fill port on the system’s low pressure side. A little plastic lid with a L printed on the top will be attached to this. To access the port, unscrew this lid.
The low pressure side fill port is often found on the left side of the engine bay on most cars. It frequently takes the form of a short metal pipe with two lengths of rubber hose emerging from either end. Look at the “firewall” at the back of the engine compartment. There should be two pipes or hoses sticking out from the firewall, one bigger than the other. The low pressure side fill port can be located by following the longer hose. The photographs show where the fill port is on two various late-model engines.
DANGER! Never handle anything you’ve never handled before. Nearly everything in the engine bay is in motion or becomes warm. Do not touch the high pressure side’s tiny pipes; they become quite hot. The low pressure side hoses can be touched, and they should be at room temperature.
How much R134a is required for my car?
The average automobile can contain between 28 and 32 ounces of refrigerant, or roughly 23 12 ounce cans, although larger vehicles and those with rear air conditioning will probably be able to hold more. The system capacity for your particular vehicle can be found in your car manual.

Can AutoZone fill my car with Freon?
Check out our list of recommended stores in your neighborhood for assistance if you need assistance with this or any other AC recharge or service. Alternatively, AutoZone has all the equipment and refrigerant necessary to service your R-134A or R-12 car if you choose to handle the work on your own.
Do AutoZone air conditioners require recharging?
Most of the time, this may be resolved by using a trusted stop leak additive to halt any leaks. Visit AutoZone for an AC recharge when the time comes. Along with other things, we sell R134a refrigerant, PAG46 oil, AC stop leak, and AC system cleanser.
How can you tell if the Freon in your car’s AC is running low?
If the air coming from your air conditioner is warm or at room temperature, this is one of the most clear signs that you have low Freon levels. As we previously covered, this compressed refrigerant is circulated to power the air conditioning system in your car. Performance eventually suffers when the amount is too low.
How can I refuel my car’s R134a air conditioner?
To replenish or top off the refrigerant in your car’s air conditioning system, turn on the engine, set the air conditioner to the coldest setting, and open the doors to prevent the air conditioner from shutting off when it gets cool inside the car. Let the engine and AC system run for about five minutes before adding refrigerant.
Toyota uses 1234yf, right?
Global desire for a more environmentally friendly and sustainable refrigerant has been sparked by environmental concerns. As R134a will be completely phased out by 2021, the 1234yf productalso known as HFO-1234yf and Rwas created to replace it. As a result, you’re likely to see more and more of it being used. R134a has been completely outlawed in a number of nations, and U.S. regulations are headed in that direction as well. If you run a vehicle repair shop, you’ve probably noticed a rise in the use of 1234yf in a/c systems.
According to Honeywell’s June 2018 Auto Refrigerant Update, 30 million automobiles will employ HFO-1234yf by the end of this year, with approximately 50% of all new models being produced in 2018. According to estimates, 1234yf is used by GM, BMW, Fiat, Land Rover, and Jaguar at a rate of over 95%; Ford, Honda, and Volkswagon at a rate of over 70%; Toyota, Subaru, Hyundai, and Kia at a rate of over 25%; and Nissan, Mercedes, Mazda, and Volvo at a rate of barely any conversions in their new models.
Refrigerant Depot delivered a sizable contract purchase to one of the manufacturers in 2018 who presently has 0% of its models using the yf gas, so you shouldn’t assume that they won’t continue in that direction in 2019. Change will undoubtedly occur, so if our technicians and service centers haven’t done so already, we advise them to do so.
Although the pipes, hoses, and sealing rings used in the systems for each refrigerant are similar, HFO-1234yf requires extra safety measures since it is significantly more combustible. Technicians should use the same caution they would while working with flammable fuel systems if they are not using modern RRR machines or a specialist recovery machine for the 1234yf refrigerant. The Honeywell HFO-1234yf and R-1234yf are the identical product; the only difference is that we sell the Honeywell HFO-1234yf in either 10 or 25 lb cylinders and the R-1234yf in 8 oz cans.
R 1234yf refrigerant: what is it?
A hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) refrigerant is R1234yf. Hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon atoms make up HFO refrigerants, however there is at least one double bond between the carbon atoms. R1234yf’s composition prevents it from harming the ozone layer and reducing its contribution to global warming. To handle, sell, or store this refrigerant, you do not require an ARCTick refrigerant handling licence or a refrigerant trade authorisation.
How long does it take to fill your automobile with freon?
Recharging the car’s air conditioning requires roughly 45 to 60 minutes to completely drain the old gas and replenish with new refrigerant.
