My AC is not working i suspect i just need to recharge it. I'd rather do it myself than pay someone. I figure it would be any easy DIY would it ?
i've seen freon sold at my local auot store but not sure what kind i need.. has anyone done this before and know what kind 240's need? I have a 91 240sx

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, most 1989-1990 240's my still have R12 systems in it cuz mine does. You need to evac any remaining R12 stuff in your tank. And you can't buy R12 freon by yourself too cuz you need a license and there's environmental issues with R12. Best suggestion is to have a shop evac and convert R12 system to R134a. Now with R134a will be much easier to refill.

Oh, make sure to get an oil charge, fittings, and hoses to go recharging.
