refrigerant was changed supposedly around 94ish according to one acura tech, so the 2 times i had to inquire about it, the techs on the phone jus told me to check on the shock tower where i found a metallic sticker with the refrigerant code on it. u can check there as well.

The A/C in the '94 GS-R definitely uses R-134a.

im pretty sure my 95 gsr came from the factory with r-12 refridgerant (accorrding to my cheapo chiltons manual) however i need to get it recharged so ill have to take it somewhere to drain the r-12, before it is refilled with r-134a, i dont think you are supposed to add r-134a to r-12. Someone must have a helms manual for a 95 gsr that can answer tthis question

most are r-12 and you cant put r-134a into r12 a/c system....r-134a is lots smaller molecule and will leak only thing bad bout that gas

I can answer this question. The 1994 and later Integras all came with R-134a refrigerant, and NOT with R-12. I don't know about the '93 or earlier ones.

Your '95 definitely came from the factory with R-134a. If you have a Chilton manual that says R-12, it's wrong. (The factory manual is better and more reliable, anyway.)

P.S. If you have a Helms service manual for the '94 Integra, it says on page 22-6 that it uses R-134a, not R-12.

my 95 uses R134a, as for draining R12, I don't think its as simple and draining it and putting in R134a. You have to "convert" the system, isn't R12 like more expensive than GOLD by NOW?!!!?

they sell a kit to change it to 134, at any autoparts store! all 94 and up tegs came with r134a you can also tell by the threads on the fill caps, i cant remember which is which but one will have inside threads as well as the threads for the caps.

Since the 94 GSR uses R134a, will it be the same for the 95' LS?

I think it might but I want to be sure.
