Which Air Conditioning Gas Does My Car Use?

Which aircon gas does my car need? Do I need R134A or R1234YF for my AC? How do I find out what refrigerant my car uses?

The type of air conditioning gas (refrigerant) your car uses depends on its make, model, and year of manufacture. Using the correct refrigerant is essential for the proper operation and efficiency of your vehicle’s AC system.

How Does ClickMechanic Determine the Right Gas?

🔍 ClickMechanic’s system automatically selects the correct AC gas for most vehicles based on make, model, and year. However, some vehicles may have overlapping refrigerant types due to manufacturer transitions.

🚗 Common Refrigerant Types:

✔ R134A – Used in most vehicles manufactured before 2017.

✔ R1234YF – Used in most vehicles built after 2017 to meet stricter environmental regulations.

💡 Important Note: Some models from 2015-2017 may have either R134A or R1234YF, depending on the manufacturer’s transition.

How to Check Which AC Gas Your Car Uses:

📌 Check the Yellow Sticker Under the Bonnet – Most vehicles have a label specifying the refrigerant type.

📌 Refer to Your Owner’s Manual – If the sticker is missing or unclear, check the vehicle handbook for details.

📌 Contact the Manufacturer – If unsure, consult your vehicle manufacturer or dealership for confirmation.
