I do have one project I can use it on. I have a friends car that I'm repairing the A/C on. I started it last year, but it was in fall and we put it off until this spring. I'll end up replacing the high pressure side hose and adding more refrigerant. However, I think I'll have a ton left over. I also have a bunch of new 12oz cans to do this job. Details here:

It does not go bad .
Most residential heat pumps use R22 for older units and R410a for newer units . If so , do not try to use R134a .
Yes , you can use it on newer cars that came with R134a systems . You can retrofit older R12 automotive systems with R134a , but that is another discussion .
God bless
