Can I replace my car refrigerant R-1234yf with R134a?
Vehicles with R-1234yf have different service fittings than R-134a vehicles to prevent cross-contamination with different refrigerants. Also, it’s illegal to put R-134a or any other refrigerant into a car originally equipped with R-1234yf.
What happens if you put the wrong freon in your car?
