The Dodge Caravan uses R134a refrigerant in its air conditioning system. This refrigerant does not require any certifications or special skills to use, and it can be refilled using a refill canister available at any auto-parts retailer.

How do I know what refrigerant my car needs?
The first place to look for this information is under the hood. Pop the hood and look for a label, which is usually white or bright yellow. On this it will either say “R-134a” or “R-1234yf,” and it may even say what the capacity is.
What year did cars go to R134a?
1994 – All new automotive A/C systems are required to run on R-134a refrigerant, rather than R-12.
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.
Which gas is best for a caravan?
The majority of caravans use either propane or butane gas to power their appliances. But which gas is right for you? Butane gas is ideal for caravanning and camping during the warmer months.
What kind of refrigerant does a Dodge Caravan take?
R-134a

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.
Do Dodge Caravans take regular gas?
by “regular”, I assume you mean 87 octane regular unleaded. And the answer is – yes, you can. Last back in the 80’s, they had three grades – “regular”, “unleaded”, and “high test”.
What cars use R134a refrigerant?
In most cars that are on the road today, R134a refrigerant makes the A/C system blow cold on hot days. Selected for its low flammability and safety, as well as because it’s kinder to the environment, almost every car built since 1994 is equipped with R134 refrigerant. However, kinder is the key word.
