Recharging A/C with Aftermarket 134.

[Cas5Id4]

Hi all... i have 3rd gen Runner and hada few questions before i recharge my A/C.
1) Before i do any recharging, R12 isn't used anymore right?? so my runner has R134 for my A/C .

2) how hard/easy is it to recharge my system using aftermarket products?


Let me know. All inputs are great appreciated.

No R134a.

You need some gauges and need to fill according to the A/C tag on the hood.

Or take it to a professional whom can vacuum and charge the system accordingly. They might even be able to spot your leak for you too.
