2006 to 2011 Honda Civic Sedan/Coupe AC Condenser change. Parts listed below: **NOTE** - PAG OIL NOT NEEDED !!! Denso comes with dryer attached. DENSO condenser (Sedan): https://amzn.to/3APZTg6 DENSO condenser (Coupe): https://amzn.to/3g5ylM8 A/C O-ring set: https://amzn.to/3jZKza3 I had a shop pull vacuum for 1 hour and add refrigerant. After adding pag oil they had a hard time pulling vacuum so hence the direction to not add pag oil. We had to run additional hour and now the vehicle has been awesome. **UPDATE** - 8/16/2021 - A/C system still working like a champ ! DENSO is recommended.
