The regular stuff.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/SuperT.../100977940

Unless you have been in a fender bender or your piping, condenser / evaporator core is damaged, the valve cores are usually the culprit for A/C leaks.

It's the first thing I replace when helping someone with their A/C. Then I use a pump to draw a vacuum to test for leaks and if it's stable for at least 30 mins, I recharge the system. So many times I've seen the red and blue caps for (or black) A/C service ports missing (which is a bad sign), which lets dirt in and gas escape. If you're missing those, replace them as soon as you can.

If you have a bad condenser, evaporator core, hoses, seals, etc... that can be found by using leak detector dye. If it's a plugged orifice tube or compressor, well that's a horse of a different color. Even still, most o-rings can be replaced cheaply if necessary, as long as you know where they are.

I go through a few of these kits that come with the valve tool.

Other than the peculiarities of different vehicles, A/C work isn't complicated, but getting to the parts to replace them is.

I am not an expert, but I've taught myself how to use the various tools and rented the expensive ones from AutoZone. If you're handy enough, you can diagnose your own issue and repair it with very little investment.

Bought for family member that needs to recharge an HHR (not sure of the year), store says it is in stock so we'll see. I already have the hose with gauge. Says the can is 11oz or 312g, online says 410g needed to recharge the HHR or maybe the total amount it can hold who knows. He can pick it up and figure it out. 😆 Been too many years since I needed to do it.

What if the car is a beater over 20 years old? Hoping to get a couple more years out of the car but the lack of AC is brutal in the summer. Figure this might be worth using in this case

If you want a couple more years, the stop leak could potentially cause you a bigger headache before you're ready to move on from it. The stop leak can gum up the small orifices and stop your ac from working all together. You can take the chance if you want, but IMO, going cheap now always costs more later

$10 is for plain generic brand R-134a. This brand, with its additives, sells for $25 at Walmart, so a $35 MSRP isn't hard to believe.

You can also just get cans without stop leak in it from your local auto parts store

What doesn't have leak seal anymore? Seems like everything does in the fine print.
