If you're just replacing a hose and a dryer you only want to add a couple ounces of oil, definitely not a full load. There is already a lot in the system.

Oh, and I found the sticker under the hood that shows that the type of oil to be used should be genuine Honda synthetic AC oil. Do you think that is necessary, or would PAG46 be ok since I will only be putting in half an ounce (according to my service manual for changing the dryer)...

Here's what the service manual says
Refrigerant oil
Type DENSO: ND-OIL 8 (P/N 38897-PR7-A01AH or 38899-PR7-A01)

Now, can you use PAG48? Technically, no but I'm sure there are a bunch of shops doing just that and getting away with it.
