Refrigerant type?

Hi,

The vehicle will use R134A refrigerant. You can get that at any parts store. As far as the oil, if you are only adding freon to top off the system, there is no need to add oil.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

The different oils you mentioned are just that. PAG is the most commonly used. I wouldn't recommend POE. POE is a synthetic aftermarket oil and is compatible with R-134a, R12, and R410a. The problem is when exposed to moisture, it breaks down and becomes acidic.

Now, specific to your vehicle is the ND oil 11. ND-oil 11 is a POE oil, specifically developed for use in DENSO electric-driven compressors, used in hybrid and electric vehicles. This oil has high insulation properties, as the electric motor of the compressor is cooled by the refrigerant and oil mix.

So, in your case, the ND oil 11 is what you would use.

I hope this helps.

Take care,

Hi Joe,

Thank you very much for your reply, that's really helpful. one last question: as i understood, i need only pure Freon if i am going to top off (add) the system. would you please send me a link to a product that i can order or buy from a store that fits the best my need.

Thank you again.

Hi,

No problem. If you go to any parts store and ask them for R-134a Freon to recharge your A/C, they will point you in the right direction.

If you look below, I attached a pic from the link that shows what I would suggest getting. I've gotten that from Auto Zone, Advance, and just about any parts store around.

Pic 2 below is one I found online at Walmart.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe
