I got my Honda Ridgeline 3 weeks ago and I have to say I've never really been interested in cars until I got mine. And watching your videos is really inspiring me into doing my vehicle's own maintenance. Thank you Yuriy!

I pick up my 2021 Gen 2 tomorrow. My 2008 Gen 1 has 187,000 miles and I am very familiar with all of this. Regular fluid changes has me almost regretting the upgrade. My Gen 1 runs like new. These are great vehicles.

Followed your walk thru and knocked my first Diff. Service out today. Very straightforward. Hardest part of the job was the cleanup.

Glad you're doing it the right way with torque specs and the proper tools.. I see so many people applying wrong torque specs, they don't realize the big risks behind it.

Appreciate you taking the time to make the video.

Changed mine today. This was the 1st for the vehicle and and fill plug was definitely more tight than 35 lbs. I could not loosen it while flat on ground. Had to jack up 1 side so I could use longer breaker bar to get some leverage, rest was easy peasy.

I just picked up a used 2020 Ridgeline on 4/16 with 29k miles! Loving how I can fit a rear-facing infant seat in the back row and still have space up front. I want to take a stab at doing more of my own maintenance. Figured I should be able to do on my own 1. Brakes, rotors, fluid 2. Engine oil and filter 3. Transmission fluid 4. Engine coolant 5. Rear differential 6. Rotate tires 7. Other easy-ish things However doing these, I'm not sure how it affects what I would be missing when taking it into the dealer - they know how to inspect the other stuff that is part of the maintenance minder system. Can't even buy a service manual anymore

Not all bottle pumps are created equal. Have purchased three two from Amazon and none work to suck up the great oil. Great position to be in.

Great all around video. Just used this video to maintain my ‘21 Sport. Thanks!

Great how to! If you read the service manual, you are supposed to fill up to the fill hole with fluid. Mine took almost 2.25qt. I don't think you will hurt anything with 2qts but just a heads up. There is also a bleeding procedure.

Thanks. About to do it in an hour or two before towing 3k lbs uhaul for 8 hours.

Great job ! looks easy enough . when its time for my 2021 Ill be ready.

Very helpful. The links you provided links to Honda Transmission fluid. Not the dual pump II fluid.

Changing the Transmission fluid is a bit harder (if it has not been done before) at least on my MDX, had to use a BIG breaker bar and a stack of extensions to get fill plug out.

Great vid looks simple .

Thanks

Rear fluid looks still good to me. I think could’ve have waited for 30k mileage. But thx for the video.

Thank you Yuriy ,very informative!

Thanks a lot for making this and sharing.

Looks pretty clean too me, compare to others I saw. :) Again, thanks for sharing. 👍

Nice video.... I just save it for my future change😎😅

My local dealer in Conway Arkansas wanted $189 to do this job.

Is that a set up for maintenance reset ? Like engine oil, etc ? Thanks

Well done.

Just the right amount of truck for two quarts of fluid :)

Hey Yuriy what exactly does the fluid do in the rear diff in these trucks that it needs to be done so often? From what I read its about every 15k miles?

After you do rear differential fluid and transmission fluid change do you need to reset the maintenance reset

How many qts take ?? Thank you

The fill plug on mine is very tight. Ive applied crazy force but can’t get it loose. Any tips as to how to loosen it? Thanks!

My drain plug is stuck on. I couldn’t even remove it using a pneumatic gun. Any advice?

What size is the plug socket?

Hom many miles recommended to change the transmission fluid? Thx

is the torque still the same for model 2024 Sport 35ft lbs ?

So the dual pump fluid 2 is used not the differential ATM 4 fluid?

My plug will not move even with a cheater

Thanks
