When the A/C is re-gassed there is oil added into the system, if you use the A/C the oil circulates and helps prevent the seals from drying out therefore preventing leaks. If it's not used the seals will dry out and eventually leak the R134a out into the atmosphere

A/C is like XC90 the parking brake... use it or loose it
