it should say on the car how much freon to add and the oil you need a oil injector .... and dont waste time installing freon unless you evacuate the system first or your wasting your time

Call your local Honda Dealer and talk to the service person. They will give you this info...That's what I do anyway...

this is what you MUST do if you really want your A/C to work and be trouble free for many years to come.
1. reassemble system.
2. replace acumulator/dryer. (it is STRONGLY RECOMMEDED THAT YOU REPLACE ALL O RINGS WHILE YOU ARE AT IT)
3. have the system evacuated and placed under a vaccume for at LEAST 8 hours preferably 12. this will ensure that as much moisture is removed from the system as possible.
4. have the system recharged with the proper amount of oil/refrigerent.

If this is true, i haven't meet one person that does it, i hate this.
When should you do this kind of thing?

To remove the non-condensible gases and the moisture from the system. Moisture will use up the dessicant in the receiver/dryer, and NCG will interfere with heat transfer in the evaporator and condensor. Air will promote corrosion in the system.
If you don't do it, your AC will still work, just not as good and not as long.

Re: how to replace oil in the A/C compressor? (GZERO)
I figured any A/C shop has to be able to do this, in order to be licensed to use R-12. They hook up a vacuum pump to suck the old refrigerant out of the system for recycling, then again to suck air & moisture out after any repair...
All the shops that do A/C work around here can do that. Not 'stores' tho...
