What type of refrigerant does Subaru use?
These service and testing procedures should be used to diagnose, service and repair Subaru air conditioning systems charged with HFC-134a refrigerant. Subaru air conditioning systems are designed to provide many years of service, with a minimal amount of technician involvement.
What is the difference between AC refrigerant R-1234yf and R134a?
The results of this study have shown that the cooling capacity of R1234yf AAC system is significantly lower (between 5 to 25 %) than R134a system. In the experiment, the power of the compressor is slightly lower (up to 11 %) for refrigerant R1234yf compared to R134a inside the AAC system.
What happens if you put the wrong refrigerant in your car?
You cannot mix refrigerant types, and putting the wrong refrigerant in your car will cause damage to the air conditioning system! If you’re not sure which kind of refrigerant your vehicle takes, DIY A/C charging may not be for you.
