We design our A/C parts to fit a wide range of vehicles, including classic cars and trucks. If you need help, provide us with the YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, and ENGINE of your vehicle, and we’ll guide you to the right part.

3. Questions about A/C compressor oil, refrigerant quantity, and compatibility?

• How much oil does my compressor need?
  The oil quantity varies depending on your vehicle’s A/C system capacity. Always check your vehicle’s manual or consult a professional.
• What type of oil should I use (PAG46, PAG100, PAG150, or Hybrid)?
  The type of oil depends on the specific A/C compressor and vehicle. For accurate recommendations, share your vehicle’s details with us.
• Which refrigerant should I use: R134a or R1234yf?
  The type of refrigerant depends on your car’s A/C system. For modern vehicles, R1234yf is commonly used, while R134a is more common for older models.

  The required refrigerant amount depends on your system’s specifications. Please consult your vehicle manual or contact us with your car’s details.

Provide the YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, and ENGINE of your vehicle, and we’ll give you precise recommendations.

4. How do I choose the right Universal A/C Kit for my vehicle?

To select the correct Universal A/C Kit, follow these steps:

1. Check Engine Belt Type: Identify whether your vehicle uses a V Belt or Serpentine Belt (6 Groove or 8 Groove).
2. Measure Condenser Space: Measure the available space where the condenser will be installed (e.g., 14x20 inches).
3. Choose the Evaporator Unit: Decide if you want a cooling-only evaporator (4 vents) or a heat-and-cool unit with more vents (5 or 6 vents).

If you’re unsure, consult your vehicle’s manual or contact a professional.

• Do I need professional assistance?
  While our kits come with clear installation instructions, we recommend professional installation to ensure optimal performance. DIY installation is possible for those experienced with automotive systems.
