DISCUSSION

The use of A/C system sealers may result in damage to A/C refrigerant recovery/evacuation/recharging equipment and/or A/C system components.
Many federal, state/provincial and local regulations prohibit the recharge of A/C systems with known leaks.
DaimlerChrysler recommends the detection of A/C system leaks through the use of approved leak detectors available through Pentastar Service Equipment (PSE) and fluorescent leak detection dyes available through MOPAR Parts.
Vehicles found with A/C system sealers should be treated as contaminated and replacement of the entire A/C refrigerant system is recommend.
The only refrigerants authorized for use are R12 or R134A as specified per the vehicle application.
NOTE: NO REFRIGERANT BLENDS OR HYDROCARBON-BASED REFRIGERANTS ARE TO BE USED.
Use only OEM specified compressor oil as specified per the vehicle application.

NOTE: A/C SYSTEMS FOUND TO BE CONTAMINATED WITH A/C SYSTEM SEALERS, A/C STOP-LEAK PRODUCTS, SEAL CONDITIONERS, COMPRESSOR OIL OR REFRIGERANTS NOT APPROVED BY CHRYSLER VOIDS THE WARRANTY FOR THE A/C SYSTEM.
