Re: Accord Hybrid - AC refrigerant question
The dealer did the AC evac and recharge service, and assured me many times that the work was done properly for my car and they know it is a hybrid.
But I am beginning to distrust every mechanic in the world because the service advisor could only tell me that R134A is the correct fluid. I kept asking about the compressor oil but no real answers besides "R134A" is the correct one. "The important thing is that it has the "A" behind R134." No mention of SE-10Y oil or electrical properties.
Plus they added R134A Dye, again no mention of whether this is the correct Tracerline dye or something else. At this point I would like to submit my car as the official guinea pig test car of potentially contaminated AC compressor oil.

Wow. I'm a little dubious as well. However, most people making arrangements for the service don't necessarily know very much.
Hopeful that the actual technical people understand what is required.

Re: Accord Hybrid - AC refrigerant question
gafortiby - I'm curious if you're still around and how everything worked out. I myself have put a can of AC Pro in my 2013 Acura ILX Hybrid. After doing so, I noticed the "not for hybrids with electric compressors" notice on the back. I didn't think much of it since I have a belt. I didn't realize the compressor itself was also a hybrid. Go figure. It was in my system for a good year (beginning of summer 2017) with no issues. After this summer, I'm having weird compressor shut down issues. I'm curious if your car survived the experience.
My car is still working fine and AC is still blowing cold. I have not done anything to the AC since I had the dealer look at it when I posted my experiences.
