R-1234yf conversion to R-134a on the newest generation Honda vehicles. This DIY guide shows you how to recharge refrigerant 134a and use a vacuum pump on the AC system properly while avoiding big bills from the dealership. Adding refrigerant to the air conditioning system is not difficult at all. Make sure the whole AC system is evacuated at a shop since you do not want to mix both refrigerants. I changed the AC compressor, desiccant filter, and the compressor oil to accommodate the 134a refrigerant charge.

Don’t mix the two refrigerants. I recommend to drain the old compressor oil and put a compatible oil in. IG: Cars_with_Ellie #DIY #10thgencivic #honda #CommissionsEarned
