The 2005 Jeep Wrangler can hold up to 20 ounces of freon and it's best to use r-134a refrigerant. A functioning air conditioning system in your vehicle is essential for keeping the cabin cool. If you need to have the freon replaced, the cost can range from $80 to $100 for labor and $57 to $80 for parts. If you prefer to do it yourself, it's a fairly simple process that involves opening the hood and locating the low pressure port. When the compressor turns on, add the freon until it reaches the correct pressure. Remember to put the low pressure port cap back on when you're done. The whole procedure should take between 30 to 45 minutes. In most cases, a freon refill will last around three years unless you live in an extremely hot climate.
The air conditioning system in the 2005 Jeep Wrangler does not utilize Freon, but instead relies on R134a refrigerant. In order to properly fill up the A/C system of the 2005 Wrangler, you will require 20 ounces of R134a along with 6 ounces of PAG 46 oil.
Angela R, your assumption is mistaken. R134a is a form of refrigerant known as Freon. Unlike the old R12 Freon used in the 1980s through the early to mid-1990s, R134a is a different type of Freon.
