I just need to figure out whether my 92 Loyale's orginal AC uses R-12 or R-134a. Maybe it's in my owner's manual which has gone missing. Searched the archives here but all I could find was a pretty interesting discussion about using propane as a refrigerant.

 

So, I'm guessing 1992 is still R-12, is that right?

My 92 Legacy is R-12.

 

The threaded ports should indicate this too unless it has been converted. Then it would have adaptors over the old ports. The R-134a has a different connector (quick connect).

 

When my Legacies lost freon (slowly over the years), I converted to Freeze-12.

It's R12, but you can use R134a - just replace the o-rings so it doesn't leak again, and buy a charge kit.
