Frequently Asked Questions
How many AC systems can I service with one Robin Air 16356 kit?
Each kit contains 4 cartridges with 30 ml of dye per cartridge, providing enough fluorescent additive for 20 complete system applications. This high-capacity kit supports professional service operations handling multiple vehicles daily across passenger cars, trucks, and commercial fleet maintenance requirements.
Will this dye work with newer R-1234yf refrigerant systems?
Yes, this universal AC dye is specifically engineered and tested to work safely with R-1234yf systems found in 2017 and newer vehicles, as well as traditional R-134a systems in most modern cars and older R-12 systems in classic vehicles. The formulation meets strict OEM approval standards.
How does this compare to other AC leak detection dyes?
Robin Air 16356 offers OEM-approved certification and universal compatibility across three major refrigerant types, while many competing dyes only work with one specific refrigerant system. The precision twist-on cartridge design eliminates measuring and dosing errors compared to traditional bottles that require manual measurement and mixing.
Can I leave the UV dye in the AC system permanently?
Yes, this dye is specifically designed as a permanent leave-in additive that circulates safely within refrigerant systems without harming seals, compressors, or other critical components. Once properly injected, it remains active for multiple years, allowing technicians to perform future leak inspections using UV light equipment.
