I am looking to 'upgrade' my Air Condition system from the R12 to the R134a system in the 92 civic... would be eager to know if anyone has attempted to do it and was successful.. any links to doing it would be appreciative... Thanks

Question... when you install a drier it tells you to add 1/3 oz. of refrigerant oil... My question is.. where do you add this oil ? Do you just add it directly into the drier ?

or you could just take it to a radiator shop, and have them recharge the r12.

Vacuum it out and before you fill it put dye inside for future leaks and you can rent one from only autozone I think and r12 is no longer available publicly ....if u want r12 expect to pay $30 an oz.
