    Oh, hey I got a new one. I'll be taking my car from Colorado when I head off to college in Florida in a few months, and I've heard from a few people that there's some sort of adjustment that needs to be done when you move from extremes of altitude. Is this a thing? I'll still take it to the mechanic before we hit the road of course. 

     

    In general, if the car is made after the late eighties, the entire process would be computer controlled, the sensors would detect a change in air pressure and adjust the fuel injectors to fire more fuel to compensate for the denser air.

     

    Adjustments are only needed in the car is carbureted, but carburetors are only found on classic cars, rarely in a modern car.

     

    Also what is the year, make and model, just curious.

    With summer coming up, I'm just giving a PSA type thing.

     

     

    If you think your A/C is not blowing cold as it should be, bring it in to the professionals, the cans of refrigerant (R-134a)  they sell at stores generally are bad for the car.

     

    They usually come in three varieties, R-134a with oil for the compressor; R-134a with oil and sealant; and straight R-134a.

     

     

    If the A/C does indeed need charge, using the cans will not help, it has a leak and must be repaired, as R-134a is a greenhouse gas will contribute to global warming. The car may also need much more/less than the amount they have in the cans, or maybe even it does not use R-134a at all.

     

    Although the sealant does sound good for fixing up the leaks, being it reacts with air to form a solid, it would be bad for the internal components such as pressure sensors and valves if air somehow gets into the system, for it would render them useless. The kicker is, once its screwed up, some shops would not take it in for repairs, since if the sealant is in the system, it would also get into the recovery/recycling machines they have.

     

     

    The case of the oiled mix, though, is that the oil mixed with R-134a may not match the compressor's original PAG or ester oil specification. Using the wrong oil could mess up the compressor, too. If the compressor lunges, the manufacturer will analyze the oil for its type and viscosity. If it detects an oil that's different from the original, chances are the manufacturer will void the warranty.

     

     

    So basically, do not use a can of R-134a to top off A/C systems.

    Welcome to the club.

     

    Oh right, I think there is a "Touhou Lossless music collection" floating around somewhere.

    1.2 TB, compressed using .tta

     

    and a 4+ TB MP3 version of it.
