AC now blows cool as hell, has anyone else ever tried this stuff? it was supposed to cost $50 but walmart messed up and it came to 15$

[cleanz_28]

so is it r-12 or r134 ?

[91blkcoupe]

it is called 12a, and it is supposed to work good for leaky systems, id recommend it so far.

[cleanz_28]

so its for leaky systems,But its also freon ?

[91blkcoupe]

Its all organic, and not bad for the enviroment and its fairly cheap, so leaking wont ruin anything heres a pic...

Do you need to convert to R-134 to run it?

I might have to try this on my Mom's car.

If it says anything related to r12/12a whatever not a good idea. There is prob some sort of chemical they mix in there so help stop leaks like that stopleak stuff they sell. They just put it in the AC thing. IMO if you got a leak go buy the dye (or go to shop with one), inject it into system, drive around for a while, get a uv light at it, and find your leak.

i wonder if they run under a higher compression than r12....that would suck if your fans arent working properly.

DURACOOL® Refrigerant will improve the performance and the life expectancy of refrigeration equipment and air-conditioning systems.
Our refrigerants contain Duracool A/C Oil Chill™ a synthetic friction reducing additive. Duracool A/C Oil Chill reduces compressor operating temperatures and improve thermal and chemical stability. Duracool® Refrigerants reduces energy useage and will either stop or reduce a system leak. Duracool® Refrigerants provide higher efficiency, lower head pressures and are non-corrosive. When we state " Our Formula Never Changes™" you can be assured that our refrigerants are only made from the highest refined pure ingredients available in the market.
Duracool® consistency ensures performance you can rely on and trust.

Duracool® Refrigerants replace many of the environmentally harmful refrigerants currently in use.

DURACOOL® 12a is a replacement for ozone-depleting CFC R-12 and global-warming HFC R-134a refrigerant.

with that said....it seems to work with both systems....R12 and R-134a. I might need to grab a can of this because its been getting extremely hot down here in S Fla and I think my a/c needs a top because it cools but not cool enough.

Thats interesting..I wonder what they used to adapt both oils together. Since one uses mineral oil and the other PAG or something like that.
