What kind of refrigerant does a Chevy Silverado take?

The refrigerant type for a Chevy Silverado depends on the year and engine size of the vehicle. Here are some examples of refrigerant types and capacities for different models:
– For 2018-2017 Silverado with a 6-cylinder 4.3L engine: 16.00 oz of R-1234yf refrigerant and 6.10 oz of PAG-46 oil.
– For 2018-2017 Silverado with an 8-cylinder 5.3L engine: 16.00 oz of R-1234yf refrigerant and 6.10 oz of PAG-46 oil.
– For 2018-2017 Silverado with an 8-cylinder 6.0L engine: 16.00 oz of R-1234yf refrigerant and 6.10 oz of PAG-46 oil.
– For 2018-2017 Silverado with an 8-cylinder 6.2L engine: 16.00 oz of R-1234yf refrigerant and 6.10 oz of PAG-46 oil.
– For 1995-1994 Silverado: 32.00 oz of R-134a refrigerant and 8.00 oz of PAG-150 oil.
– For 1998-1996 Silverado with a Denso compressor: 32.00 oz of R-134a refrigerant and 8.00 oz of PAG-46 oil.
Please note that these are just a few examples, and the refrigerant type and capacity may vary depending on the specific model and year of the Chevy Silverado. It’s always best to consult the owner’s manual or check the sticker in the engine bay for the exact refrigerant type and capacity for your vehicle.

What happens if you use R134a instead of R-1234yf?

The expansion valve setting for R-1234yf refrigerant is different compared to R-134a. Changing from R-1234yf to R-134a refrigerant may result in a system with incorrect refrigerant flow and heat exchanger mal-distribution which may cause a loss of cooling performance or durability concerns.

What type of freon does a 2006 Chevy Silverado take?

R134a
A/C Certified Pro R134a PAG 46 Refrigerant Oil with Ice 32oz.

How many cans of Freon should I put in my truck?

Most cars hold between 28 and 32 ounces of refrigerant (or about 2—3 12oz cans), however larger vehicles and those with rear A/C will likely hold more. Check your vehicle manual for the system capacity for your specific vehicle.

How many pounds of freon does a Chevy Silverado take?

The refrigerant capacity for the Silverado is 29 ounces or 1.8 lbs. if you want to refill the entire system.

What happens if you put R22 in a 134a system?

No, the compressor will fail. These two refrigerants have very different properties. One of R22 and R134a is high pressure and the other is low pressure. They don’t mix chemically and don’t have the same boiling point, leading to inefficiencies and eventual compressor failure.

How many cans of Freon does a Chevy Silverado take?

For a regular cab truck, this vehicle will call for 2 lbs (32 ozs) of refrigerant.

What type of refrigerant does a 2014 Silverado take?

R134a
A/C Certified Pro R134a PAG 46 Refrigerant Oil with Ice 32 8oz.

What kind of freon does my 2011 Chevy Silverado take?

R134a Freon: Vehicles Manufactured Between 1995 and 2021.

What happens if you put R134a to R1234yf?

The mixing of R-134a with R-1234yf will change refrigerant pressure and may result in evaporator freeze-up on pressure control systems, reducing system airflow.

Can R134a be replaced with R1234yf?

While R-1234yf could be the perfect replacement for R-134a, there is one major challenge with this new technology. The R-1234yf is much more reactive than R-134a. On the positive side, this higher reactivity is why R-1234yf is so much more friendly to the environment.
