Any tips on how to do this, the mechanical bolting and replacing looks like cake. Just tilt the radiator and unbolt and lift out the condenser.

The system has been evacuated by Honda (Slows ^^), so on my end of the install it says to add the refrigerant oil to the condenser. So is that all there is to it, just add the amount specified by the service guide then let Honda recharge it?

I will be letting the dealeradd the refrigerant because I do not trust those Autozone cans and im sure there is alittle more to it than just adding until the required pressure is met. When the compressor kicks in 45-75psi is the correct range?

 

ya just pull the rad then take the 2 alum. lines off and 2 10mm bolts in the front and pull her out.. make sure ur carfull with the rubber o-rings on the lines any dirt or cuts exc. and your have a leak

 

You should replace the dryer too. Charging a system involves pulling it to hard vacuum for an hour and then charging it to pressure.I usually use a starter can, and then a few cans of r134 premixed with the correct oil. You need gauges and a vac pump. You're right in thinking those all-in-one cans are junk.

 

Ill probably just let the dealer do it, I can place it down there and plug the lines then let them do the finishin touches.

 

 

The dryer was replaced when the compressor blew, I wouldnt need to replace it again would I?

 

The system uses PAG oil, but I have the service manual and it doesnt even say what grade.... only gives a honda part number and go f@#kING figure the last one sold just before I showed up....

A service tech said PAG 150, but other sources say 46? Will it hurt to mix grades since I only have to add 25 ml?
