Stratus L4-2.4L VIN X (1998)
Manifold Gauge Set - Typical
A manifold gauge set must also be used in conjunction with the charging and/or recovery/recycling device. Only use gauges that have not been used for
R-12. The service hoses on the gauge set should have manual (turn wheel) or automatic back flow valves at the service port connector ends. This will
prevent refrigerant R-134a from being released into the atmosphere.
Underhood Label
R-134a refrigerant requires a special type of compressor oil. When adding oil, make sure that it is designed to be used in a R-134a system. Refer to the
label under the hood for proper oil and refrigerant charge levels.
Due to the different characteristics of R-134a it requires all new service procedures.
