the use of the word drop in leads many to think you can just add it right in, in fact I have gotton into some very heated arguments with mechanics who were doing just that, insisting that it is the same stuff and you can put it right in, and in the next breath asking why the ac is not working, then they dump the charge, change some part, recharge and it works, which leads them to believe even more that it was a malfunction, took proving this to one to show him that he was doing wrong, I then asked why it was that every car on his lot had a bad fot or txv? never did get an answer to that, wonder why???? there are specific changes that must be made to conform with epa regs, especially for the pro, I dont ever intend on paying a fine..........D.........
