I've done some research reguarding converting to R-134a, but what it has come down to is its going to be cheaper for me to simply stick to R-12.
Some of you may be thinking that i 'would save so much more in the long run by just converting.' In reality, my girlfriends dad is licenced to own R-12! He could probably answer my questions, but thats another story. eheh...
He's exclaimed to me he would give me the refrigerant (although i think ill let him charge it!). Thats great, but i gotta build the system first! New compressor, hoses, orfice tube, evaporator, condensor, and accumulator all arrived yesterday. Although, the only seals i can buy are the green-barrier o-rings along with R134a oil to install them with. I understand the seals would wouldnt hurt a thing with an R-12 system, but the oil? I know R12 and R134a are a great combination to create weapons of mass destruction with, for my air conditioning! But what kind of oil can i use to grease up the o-rings with?
I could just ask my girlfriends dad this, but its late and I would have to wait to ask another day. Besides the fact that I probably wouldnt remember, i just saw him today and forgot to ask!
Any answers?
