I know this year is right on the border, but not sure of R12 or 134.

Stock it should have been r12.

IIRC, an auto parts store R124 gauge will only fit on the low side of an R134 fitting. So, if you happen to have the gauge/filler, if it doesn't fit, its R12.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

It's R12. Toyota didn't go to R134A until the 94 model year. I know this because it's one of the reasons I waited until the the 94 model year to purchase my new Camry. That and the addition of the passenger side air bag.

Well then R12 it is, thanks to all for taking the time to respond!

As an additional point, there should be a sticker under the hood stating what type of refrigerant is used by the car. When an R12 car is converted to R134A, there is usually a new sticker put under the hood that states it's been converted.

Can I replace the R12 to R134 for the 93 Camry?
