Exclamation R12 to R134 AC Retrofit SC400/300

no need to swap compressor.

Since the o-rings are probably some special size, here's the part numbers:
90099-14046 discharge pipe o-rings (need qty. 2)
90099-14044 Reciever o-rings (need 2)

It also says to use ND OIL 8, but Toyota seems to think it's synthetic gold. Reading around. PAG 46 seems to be a suitable replacement (and is readily available).
Per TSB: Sc300/sc400 use 150cc of oil, charge is 900g

edit: updloaded TSB
For those of us endlessly searching on how to do this right! Here it is thanks to BenStocked! Click here for image of the TSIB from Lexus!

MODS.

Is it too much to ask to update the FAQ/DIY/STICKY files or do I need to keep bumping this thread for our members?
