Re: r-12->r134 conversion

one thing you have to know about refrigerants is that r-12 used a mineral oil that suspended its self in the refrigerant and the pumps were desighn to lubricate with that oil,but there are r-134 compatible oils for r-12 components, some of your overthe counter kits can contain "filler additives" and can do damage, i a firm believer that it is a good idea to take it to an ac shop and have them charge it because they will have the proper oils/fittings/tools and they will be able to evacuate your system and check for leaks then fill it

just my two cents worth
