Is it normal to lose R134a in air conditioning?
Adding to this is that it is normal to lose about 2 ounces of R134a out of an automotive system every year with no real leaks. So on the one hand the system could just be low enough to not function correctly after 4 years with no real problems or it can be low as a result of a leak. I wanted to point out some of the current issues we see.

When do I add oil to my AC system?

Is it OK to add refrigerant to an AC system?
The thing is, most replacement components, such as compressors, often come with the prescribed amount of oil already in the part. If you add oil on top of this, you might saturate the system and it won’t work as well. In addition, it’s not a good idea to mix R134a refrigerant oil with R12 oil.
Why does my car AC kick off with warm air?
Now you know that excess Freon doesn’t make the car colder. The opposite happens – it starts venting warm air to the car. This is because the AC system can’t work at an optimum level with excess refrigerant. The excess refrigerant also puts more wear on the compressor, which makes it kick off with warm air.
