Summary
This informational bulletin provides information to dealership personnel on a new refrigerant (R-1234yf) for A/C service.
Product Description
R-1234yf is a new environmentally friendly refrigerant that has a 99.7% lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) than R-134a. The new refrigerant is considered mildly flammable and has thermodynamic properties similar to R-134a. It is the industry accepted solution for a low GWP refrigerant. R-1234yf systems require the use of new, specific A/C compressor oils.
Note: Not all vehicles, for the models listed, will be produced with this new refrigerant. Please reference the A/C Refrigerant Charge Label on vehicles for proper refrigerant identification.
