    What I love about the Walmart brand can you use is that I buy them and last year were $4.88 a can and now is $9.88 a can. 🤔 Kinda strange how a 15% inflation becomes more %100.

      @@ryans413 I was agreeing with you. It's a closed loop system so if you have to add refrigerant you have a leak. The fact that you have a leak doesn't change the fact that it's still a closed loop system. It's just a closed-loop system with a leak. Meaning if it was functioning correctly, you would not have a leak.

      My Cadillac Seville STS from 1998 has still it's original AC components that is fully functional.
      The only time I had to refill it was when I had to replace the sealings on the water pump and oil hoses that was leaking, and another time when the radiator broke in the plastic sides where the hoses for the coolant was flowing, where I had to take out the entire radiator with the condenser for the AC that was emptied.
      Now everything has been working great for a year, but was also working from the day I bought the car.

It lasted for many years, though it needed additional refrigerant around 5 years after, and he had to junk the car due to it being it's whole life in the rust belt in 2016. The engine did not burn a drop of oil at all. Rust is what killed the car.

    I have been auto tech/mechanic for 30+ years. Refrigerant does not evaporate if it's low you have a leak somewhere and not that it's really going to matter because it's just going to leak out anyway but vehicles take a certain amount of Refrigerant and if you put to much and there isn't a leak your going to fry your a/c compressor. If you don't know what your doing don't touch it take it to someone that knows what they are doing. Part stores and Walmart shouldn't be able to sell people Refrigerant unless they have a license like the Macs certification I have.

    Did you fix the leak??

      Who's to say it is actually a leak?
      Everything is relative. $10 for 340 grams of pure r134a is stupid cheap (and it was ~$3 in 2019). A decent low pressure gauge clip is like $20-40 for these cans of pure r134a without stupid leak seals or extra BS. Don't buy the all in one kits because they have extra crap.
      Many car HVAC systems have small leaks from new... so 5-15 years into service they will need some attention. Do you:
      A) Trust a shop or dealership do to a drain, refill refill correctly from weight (not PSI) for ~$200-$1000 (i.e. shop rate for this procedure).
      B) Trust a shop or dealership to identity, repair, and correct an HVAC leak at ship labor rates... plus drain and refill from weight (not PSI) at shop labor rates.
      C) dump ~340g of r134a in a small $10 can (no sealer or leak die) yourself into your somewhat working HVAC system? Try to purge the "line-set" of a DIY solution the instant before connecting by spritzing the applicator as you apply to the low side, because air and moisture in the tubes are very bad!
      Most r134a cars need 400-1000g of r134a. If you mess up with an overfill of pure r134a, you can vent some from the low side for, "testing purposes." Testing by venting is completely legal per EPA guidance. Remember r134a was the most common propellant in rhe USA until ~2010... including canned air! You could squirt that stuff to the end of time and the EPA was totally fine with it. Now it's considered a greenhouse gas and it's dangerous. Paented DuPont r1234yf is the state approved replacement effectice 2021. Odd considering the patents for R134a expired a few years ago.
      Worst case... ~340g of r134a in a can is the equivalent of 5-15 full tanks of gasoline burned in greenhouse warming potential...

      If you have a leak, overfilling it a little isn't so bad because it's going to correct itself eventually anyway.

      Which is an absurd argument.

      @@JenniferFuchek there are some professions that are "closed" in some regions, refridgeration is one of them in many places. Meaning they find sneaky ways to sabotage you into not being able to do a job your self if you are not licensed so they assure their income even if they don't do anything serious.
      For example in some places you can't have a new taxi registration yourself and to do so you have to transfer the license from someone else who already has one and will ask for big bucks $$$$ to sell it to you cause there's only a fixed number or licenses.
      Other places you have to be a doctor to open your own clinic whereas in most places you can open your own one as long as you follow the code and hire doctors to run it.
      Only thing they do is making it difficult for others to get into a profession for different excuses just so they wont lose their income.

      As if you've ever even used a tool on a vehicle 😂 "good brand tools" any real technician knows that one way to fail in your career and end up in debt is paying more for tools than is neccessary.
      Pittsburgh has a lifetime warranty. I can buy six of them for the price of one mac or snap on, and still not have to wait for a tool truck once a week to get a warranty. The store is right up the road.
      While you're waiting to have your 1 broken tool replaced for a week, I have already moved on to another ratchet.
      Expensive tools are for morons that use ratchets for breaker bars, screwdrivers for pry bars, chrome sockets on impacts, etc.
      A real technician can use the cheapest tools and not breal them because they know not to put a damn pipe on a 3/8" ratchet.
