[Chrysler300] Re:a/c freon

<<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.
