One of the vehicles I changed over was my 94 Chrysler which came from the factory with r134a. Performance was marginal until I charged it with Dura-cool, now if blows at 36 degrees!
I'm a little scared of hydrocarbon refrigerants. Not sure if this is just scare-tactic hype, but read this: http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2005/04/25/047878.html
