I don't understand the re-gas every 3 years comment.
The typical automotive air-conditioning system is a low-maintenance
affair. About all you need to is run the system for about 10 minutes
once a month (even in winter) to circulate the refrigerant and the
small amount of lubricant it carries. The refrigerant (environmentally
friendly R134A has been in use since 1996) will last indefinitely
barring a leak in the system.
