Unless the system has been retrofitted, the system is probably still using R12. You cannot buy R12 anymore; if the system has been changed over, there should be a sticker somewhere under the hood that mentions it.

Auto AC service shops can still get R12, but it's about $50 a pound. Might be cheaper to switch to R134A if it hasn't been done already, but AC performance will probably suffer somewhat.
