How much freon does a 2007 Dodge Caliber take?
The 2007 Dodge Caliber typically takes about 26 to 28 ounces of R-134a refrigerant (Freon), depending on engine and A/C configuration.
About the refrigerant and why capacity varies
Freon is a common name people use for refrigerants; in modern vehicles the standard is R-134a. The Caliber’s exact refrigerant capacity can vary based on engine type, whether rear air conditioning is present, and factory options. For precise figures, refer to the vehicle’s service manual or a certified technician.
Estimated capacity by engine
The following figures reflect typical charge amounts for the two gasoline engine options offered in the 2007 Caliber. Use them as a starting point, not a guaranteed spec for every vehicle.
- 2.0-liter engine: about 26 ounces (approximately 0.74 kilograms) of R-134a
- 2.4-liter engine: about 28 ounces (approximately 0.79 kilograms) of R-134a
These amounts assume a system that has been discharged and is free of leaks. A full service should include vacuum testing, leak checking, and, if needed, replenishment of oil in the A/C system. Always confirm the exact specification for your VIN and production date with a service manual or a qualified technician.
Charging and safety notes
When servicing an automotive air conditioning system, do not guess the charge. The system should be evacuated, inspected for leaks, and charged using the correct equipment. Overcharging can reduce performance and damage components, while undercharging can leave you with inadequate cooling. If you’re unsure, have a pro handle the recharge.
Summary
For a 2007 Dodge Caliber, plan for roughly 26 to 28 ounces of R-134a refrigerant, varying by engine type and optional equipment. Verify with the official manual or a technician, and ensure proper evacuation, leak testing, and oil replenishment as part of a safe, effective recharge.
