Four Seasons isn't the cheapest, but quality is top notch. If you are changing the compressor, accumulator and O tube are a must. And if you are re-using the evap and condenser, make sure you flush them. If the compressor crapped out, there will be residual aluminum bits in there. Your old O tube will show you what's in the system.
