No, but would you change your oil and not change the filter? That is what the rec/dryer does, keeps contaminants out of the system.

ac cost

you can check on my site, it has a repair log for my car.


letsee, it cost me 140 bucks for to fill with about 60 bucks worth of freon (1.5 pounds?) + $20 dye to check for leaks.

From this i would gather 60 bucks was for labor, which would total a a little less than an hour
