Transmission Fluid

The Importance of Transmission Fluid

While the type of refrigerant isn't something you often think about, there are many different types used in modern vehicle air conditioning systems. Using the correct refrigerant is critical to your vehicle’s performance, efficiency, and environmental impact. However, you’re not expected to know the difference between R12, R134a, or R1234yf. Instead, let the expert technicians at DSX Multi-Location 1, who are trained in automotive repair and environmental compliance, handle the upgrade and give you peace of mind.

In the past, R12 was used in many systems. By the 1990s, it was phased out for R134a due to ozone concerns. Today, R134a is being replaced by R1234yf, a more environmentally friendly option with lower global warming potential, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Many manufacturers and governments worldwide are committed to implementing the most efficient and sustainable components in vehicles.

The U.S. EPA required vehicles to use R1234yf by the mid-2020s. As a result, many manufacturers are now implementing systems that use this advanced technology. At DSX Multi-Location 1, we are fully equipped and certified to service vehicles with R1234yf and ensure your system maintains peak performance while meeting environmental standards. We also offer Transmission Fluid at DSX Multi-Location 1 as part of our comprehensive modern vehicle care services, keeping your vehicle running smoothly and sustainably.
