what refidgerant does a 1990 toyota camery use?

Question

my toyota camry needs antifreeze, but I dont know which one if for this year car. Its a 1990 6 cylander

Answer 1

it is supposed to be r-12 but good luck finding anyone who has it or if they do will use it. The EPA made a law in I think 95 maybe 94 that you must use r134a. It is very expensive to switch over. So if I were you I would just roll my windows down and forget about the air. Unless you really like your car and plan on keeping it for a long time the cost wont be worth it to change over.

Answer 2

If you are talking about antifreeze, a 50/50 mix of water/antifreeze is sufficient, depending on where you live. In the winter, if you live in real cold climates, It would be wise to put a 60/40 or even a 70/30 mixture. ( Antifreeze / water). Now for refregerant, If it is a 1990, it may have either R-12 or R-134a. during that time, the R-12 was in the process of being replaced with R-134a. Look for a sticker under your hood for air conditioner info, it will tell you what type and how much it needs.
if u cant find it, then look at the ports on the a/c lines under the hood. if you see threaded ports, its R-12, if it is ports that has a ridge all the way around , it is R-134a.

Answer 3

Do you mean refridgerant? Look at the fitting of the A/C lines. If the fitting has a place for a fitting to screw on, it's R-12. It the fitting has a ridge running around it, It's R-134. If it's R-12, it can be cheaply converted to R-134

Answer 4

Antifreeze or refrigerant ?? There should be a sticker under the hood that tells..It will say R-12 or R-134A.....

Answer 5

they ALL use R-134a. Federal law. the old freon has to be removed and the r-134a installed if you're getting the system recharged.

Answer 6

now are you talking about your air condition or anti-freeze.if you mean your air then its r134a and for anti-freeze i would say prestone
