You have to take it to a shop. Only certified A/C technicians should be allowed to EVAC and/or Recharge your system.

+1

I think it also tells you when you open your hood and on the passanger side near the A/C lines it tells you this and also I believe to be serviced by a Honda Dealer only...

Its not necessary to take to the dealer. You have to take it a shop that has technician certified in A/C System Service. It is a Federal offense to inproperly EVAC and Recharge any A/C system.

I used to be AC certified and those little meters on the re-charge cans do not give the whole story, those of you with factory manuals can look in the AC section and see where the pressure readings (both High and Low sides) are ver dependant on environmental factors. A rule of thumb for AC systems is that you should see a 20D drop in temp between the intake air coming into the system and what is coming out the vents.

I am also A/C certified by the ASE.  Certification grants you access to play with A/C systems without being fined several thousand dollars, and it also gives you the ability to buy R-12 Smiley

Quick question. What would make the a c smell really bad. Its to the point I don't want to use it. I just changed the cabin air filter last week and it didn't help none. Thanks
