So if something that's 70%+ propane doesn't cause any problems with the synthetic lube oil used in 134 systems, then I don't see why 100% propane would cause any problems either.

Thanks, for this info. CWW--

I need to add R-134a to my 1995 Mercury Villager. I think it should be fine if I just add propane to it offcourse with some PEG oil.
