Default Type of A/C in 1995 SC300?
Hey everyone,

First post so please be gentle

I searched but got different answers depending on the source so I'm posting to clarify...

Does the 1995 SC300 take R12 or R134? I have a hunch it's R134 but since 1995 was just at the transition, I just want to be sure...

Thanks in advance!

Yeah R134, even my 94' takes R134.
Refill that freon level and enjoy the breeze!

R134, run some dye to make sure you don't have any leaks if possible. The seals and lines are almost 19 years old which might have leaks. It might be worth having a shop properly fill your AC with the correct equipment.

Haha, R134 is refrigerant, not freon.
