What kind of freon does a 1992 buick regal gs need?

A 1992 Buick Regal GS used R-12, also known as Freon 12. However, R-12 is no longer manufactured or legally available for automotive air conditioning use in most places due to its ozone-depleting properties.

If you need to service the AC system, you will need to have it converted to a compatible refrigerant like R-134a. This involves replacing the seals and possibly other components to ensure compatibility with the new refrigerant. A qualified automotive air conditioning technician should perform this conversion. Simply adding R-134a to an R-12 system will severely damage the system.
