Do not use this refrigerant! We just ruined the AC system on my Honda Civic 2012 and it will cost $3500 to replace it. The mechanic said the leak sealer acts like a glue and this system needs to have moisture running in and out of it. Totally ruined!! $3500!!
Even if your story is true, which I doubt, I call spam, since it is barely related to the original topic, and hayou seem to have sought out a topic on a forum for a vehicle you don't own (per your profile) and signed up just to post a reply trashing a product, in a thread that is 7 years dead no less.


I consider any of those "DIY" AC recharge kits predatory products given how little variance is needed to cause problems in the long run, but you are still getting flagged.
