If this is the same type of product we have here in Sweden it is most likely just straight up propane/butane. Since the sale of r134a was limited to only those who have proper equipment and training, there has been an explosive increase of vendors who sell ‘AC replacement gas’.
I took a look at the page you pasted above but couldn’t find any safety data sheet - SDS, an EU vendor is required to present a SDS in a member language according to REACH (EU Legislation); so I would try to get an SDS to see what you are putting in the AC system at least to begin with.
A popular site in Sweden is Fylldinac.nu (fillyourac), their AC replacement product is 50% propane and 50% butane, see 3.1 in SDS (Swedish)
I understand the reason for the mix is to simulate the vapor pressures of r134a, propane has a much lower boiling point, therefore it will be alot colder in the system, but the system will experience much higher pressures if OEM quantity is added, easy solution - add less propane. Butane has a higher boiling point, and will therefore not cool well enough, but mixed with propane will bring down the operating pressure. If you could find LPG (gasol in Swedish) with a mix of the two you could just fill the system with that, but then going by system pressure not quantity, or pure propane and add less of it. If you feel uneasy adding propane to your AC don’t buy these hydrocarbon AC refills, since that is basically what they are.
I have found a type of cooling spray at a popular Swedish car parts company which I believe could be an alternative. From the SDS you can see that the content is 100% 1,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene, ie. HFO-1234ze(E), on a molecular lever very similar to 2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene - HFO-1234yf, a refrigerant used in the AC system of many new cars.
This brochure gives a lot of interesting information, as does this article from KTH Royal institute of technology (english). The use of this gas would probably not solve the issue with evaporation of the refrigerant as I am unsure of the molecular size, however if you are servicing the system at home it might be a lot cheaper than servicing it at a shop which is the only place to go for r134a.
Keep in mind that to properly service the AC you will need to have a vacuum pump to pull a full vacuum on the system, after which the vacuum ‘draws in the refrigerant’ which you add until the system reaches full operating pressure while running. The refrigerant isn’t something that can really be topped off but has to be weighed, if using OEM refrigerant, or by monitoring the pressure until it reaches OEM operating pressure. Don’t forget to add a label or similar of the type of refrigerant used, if a shop were to empty the system of a wrong type of refrigerant it could break their machinery and ruin any refrigerant they might have stored in the machine prior; I have heard rumours of people having to pay mechanics hundreds or thousands of euros for broken machinery due to previous use of the wrong type of refrigerant.
If the compressor were to lose its oil I’d expect probably hear it by how it’s running, ie. grinding etc, or by it getting overly hot from the friction, maybe even blowing the thermal fuse. Seal kits and repair kits are readily available since the OEM compressor is just a GM part, or at least readily available here in Sweden. The compressor will need to be oiled when servicing the AC.
Hopefully I’ve answered some of your questions, I have been through this same debate myself since the AC on my -85 xj12 isn’t working, and I don’t really have the funds to take it in for a proper service.
Kind regards!
