I have  a chrysler 300F will it hurt the compressor if I put in the latest 
new freon  after purging the system?



Regardless  of what some might tell you, I recommend not doing this. Many 
technicians think  that if you purge the system, change the receiver/drier, type 
of  lubricating oil and o-rings, that older systems will work satisfactorily 
with  newer refrigerant. This may be true for cars from the 80's on up, but 
(speaking  from personal experience) it is not true for the more primitive a/c 
systems  found on 60's cars like your 300F. The different pressures and 
temperatures of  the newer refrigerant will confuse your system and result in the 
system running  overtime. Your a/c will work okay and you'll think things are fine 
until  after six months or so when your compressor burns up and seizes. I 
found out the  hard way on my 1969 Road Runner. Go original.
