I'm considering buying a Ridgeline and I always like to see what the maint is like before hand since I prefer to DIY most things. This isn't bad at all. This is an extremely thorough tutorial. Well done!EDIT: I did the first driveline service on my '24 Black Edition yesterday at 10000 miles (I like to do the first fluid services early) and it was actually pretty simple. If any part was challenging it was the rear differential. I used a hand pump that just screws onto the bottle and my shoulder is aching today from all that pumping in an awkward position. I should've got one of these syringe style pumps, but I ordered one for future changes. I plan to keep this truck for decades and I'm glad these important maint items are fairly easy to do, although Honda fluids are way too expensive, especially their ATF 3.1.
Your video was super helpful! I just serviced my 2021 Ridgeline today, did the transmission, rear diff, and transfer case. Your attention to detail was excellent I took some notes and knocked it all out in like 1.5 hours because of your detailed video. Thank you so much, keep the content coming, I just bought this ridgeline like 1 month ago so I appreciate any helpful pointers from an experienced owner.👍
I just did all the oil drains except brake fluid on our 2020 Black Edition, Rear diff fluid the transfer case and transmission fluid, I used fluids from Rock Auto made for this unit, I used the fluid from Germany made for ths 9 speed green fluid Pen something forgot the name of it, Yes it's expensive oil, Also the Daul pump fluid for the diffs is light pink looking fluid, Mine had 3-1/2 Qts drained trans fluid that's what I replaced, Also using Amsoil for for engine oil 0-20W of course every 5000 miles. This is probably the best Video for doing this Job properly 🇺🇸👍.
Just called my dealership to get the parts to do this, they are at $55 per quart for the ATF. I like to buy local, but definitely going to purchase online. Great video, thanks so much.
Man I am so glad I found this video. And you probably saved hundreds and it only costed you a little bit of your time thank you man happy new year and happy Honda
Wow that was a very detailed and helpful tutorial, the hardest part is not having lift but you saved a ton of money doing it yourself, I imagine at a garage it would of been a few hundred dollars in labor....thanks.....Javi G.
Mannnnn, just did these this past weekend on on my very first screw, the Transmission top fill screw it was so tight that it partially stripped on the way out. Took hours to get that badboy out. I almost gave up but after that everything else went very smooth, Thank God!. I think the dealer used their impact to tighten all these on my truck last time it was serviced, it was apparent from how distorted the crush washers were on the other oil changes.... Thanks for the detailed video!
Thank you I appreciate you giving a free maintenance schedule have you ever use Lucas oil products and additives before because I hear they have been around for 80 years and all the vehicle marine and aircraft manufacturers have used older products with amazing results to make equipment and vehicles last a lot longer run cooler and cleaner
You’re welcome. While I agree that Lucas makes good products, I don’t recommend using additives unless you are experiencing problems or have extremely high mileage. I purchased my vehicles used, but with low mileage, and I use quality fluids and change them on a schedule so I won’t have problems with build-up or neglect. I hope that helps.
Wonderful video sir, thanks so much for your insights and sharing the experience with us. You make that look like something I would like to try. I'll check into the attached supply item list and watch this a couple more times before I jump in. I thought the MM code system was designed and engineered to tell when it time for these services yet you stated it's a 30K fluid service on all three components, why it that?
Thank you for the kind words. The 30,000 mile maintenance intervals for the automatic transmission & transaxle fluid are what I practice. I believe it’s also consistent with Honda recommended intervals and these components are so critical to the life of the vehicle that I would rather change them at this interval than wait for the maintenance minder code. This is just my personal preference. For the rear differential I change that every 15,000 miles but once the vehicle reaches 60,000 miles I plan to also go to a 30,000 mile interval on that. The reason for that is that by 60,000 miles it is well broken in and there are hardly any metal shavings on the magnet at that point. Again, this is just my personal preference and I’m sharing with you what I do.
@@PaulNaylor3 I understand now & I totally agree with you. Thanks again so much for everything & having scribbled to your channel I'll get to see more of your videos too. Keep up the great work sir & have a safe & Happy Labor Day!
Super helpful video Paul - thanks to you (and your camera crew 😂) for investing the time and effort to share this content. Question: I’ve seen other videos where they change out the ATF filter when they change out the fluid. Do you recommend doing that as well? Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome! I’m not sure if this transmission has a serviceable filter. For those that have an accessible filter, they’re usually good until at least 90,000 miles.
Hi Paul Just getting ready to change all my fluids on my 2023 BE There is no actual dipstick for the AT correct? Seen your playlists you developed for other topics for us diy guys Outstanding videos!! Thanks
I’m changing the transfer case fluid every 30,000 miles when I change the transmission fluid and I am changing the rear differential fluid at 15,000 mile intervals. I am not positive about the recommendations and can’t remember if I found them in the manual.
You’re welcome. Here is a link to the rest of my Ridgeline videos if you are interested: 2021 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E AWD ruclips.net/p/PL0pAqdmfaJaKsyPmo8gb0Mb-X9d3nU2WR
I went on the NHTSB website to look for recalls on my 2019 Ridgeline. There is one for a faulty fuel pump. Never notified by Honda about the recall. I called the dealer and they won't let me make an appointment, because they don't have fuel pumps. They don't know when they will get the parts. Another recall is coming out for faulty engines. 😥😡😠
That’s concerning that you never received a letter from Honda. Have you ever been contacted by them before? I’m wondering if they have your correct address because when your vehicle has a recall they are required to send you a letter in the mail. You may want to reach out to Honda directly to make sure they have your correct info, ask them why you were not notified, and when they will have the parts necessary to complete the recall. You shouldn’t have to go through all that but sometimes things aren’t done the proper way and it’s frustrating. Hopefully the engine recall will not affect your vehicle or mine. I also have a 2019 Pilot.
Outstanding so very helpful and professional information!! I made notes on my cell phone when I am ready to change all fluids Curious what miles you did your first changes at? Do all 3 fluids at same time of miles? Thanks again for all your outstanding commitment!! My 2023 Ridgeline is at 19,000 miles currently
Thank you for the kind words. I recommend the following maintenance intervals (miles): Oil change & Tire Rotation: 5,000 Rear Differential, Engine Air Filter, Cabin Air Filter: 15,000 Automatic Transmission Fluid & Transfer Case: 30,000 Coolant: 100,000 The rear differential and transfer case fluid are for AWD (all-wheel-drive) models only.
@@PaulNaylor3 I have always enjoyed doing maintenance and mechanical work in all my stuff. Your videos surely inspired me even more to do even later in my life. Thanks for all your You Tubes for us do it yourselfers.
I love your video. Thanks for sharing it. I do have a question can you take a pump and fill it through the check point bolt and not even remove the top fill bolt?
Thanks for the video! Maybe I missed it, but I was expecting you to talk about and show procedures after the ATF fluid has been changed. After an ATF change, I start the vehicle and shift through the gears with a 10 second pause between shifts after filling the fluid to ensure the fluid has been distributed throughout the transmission so the vehicle is ready for the road. I've read that you can put the Honda vehicles running the 9 speed in maintenance mode to perform this operation. I'm curious what you did and to hear your thoughts. Note that the transfer case and rear differential should not require any post installation steps to be road ready in my experience but perhaps there are steps you follow for those changes as well.
Good question. The process you are describing about starting the vehicle and shifting through the gears is good for when you are using a check bolt to determine how much fluid to add. So, if you don't know how much fluid it takes, but you know it's approximately 4 quarts, you may add 3.7 quarts, remove the check bolt, run through the gears a few times with your foot on the brake, turn the car off, add fluid until it runs out of the check bolt, then put the check bolt back in and you would know you had the correct amount of fluid. When you know how much fluid to add, you do not need to go through this process. In our case, we know we took out 3.8 quarts, and the owner's manual says 3.7 quarts, so I am confident with 3.7 quarts. When you add in the right amount of fluid it is ready for the road. You don't have to do anything before you drive it. I hope that answers your question. I appreciate your comment and hope you enjoy the channel content.
Over my 30+ yrs of DIY'er trans fluids drain / refills and full flushes... (including ZF transmissions) it really comes down to trans line or valve body removal. If you do something that causes the fluid in the torque convertor or main unit to bleed air in and/or drain fluid out... then yes you need to go through the process of priming the convertor and main body. For a simple drain and refill... when an engine is off... ignition is off.. and you drain / refill within an hour or so, there is no need to run through the gears as there was nothing that caused the rest of the trans to drain.
@@PaulNaylor3 thanks. Didn't see the washers in the links before. Where did you buy the fluid? I found it online for a good price but it's $80 shipping
I purchased my ATF, Transaxle, & Rear differential fluid at my local Honda dealer. Their prices are typically very reasonable. I like to stick with Honda fluids for these three maintenance items.
I realize prices change but, just to give you an idea, I paid $31 a quart (need 4) for the transmission fluid, $11 a quart for the rear differential (need 2), and $21 a quart for the transaxle hypoid gear oil (need 1). The transmission fluid is expensive because it takes different fluid than the six-speed that it replaced.
I have a 23 Ridgeline RTL. I appreciate you producing this video. So, I'm wondering... could anyone pull the Transmission Fluid, out, through the top fill location, using that giant syringe 💉 you have ?
If the transmission drain plug had a magnet that would not be advised because you wouldn’t be able to clean the magnet. However, with this transmission not having a magnet on the drain bolt, I would think you could. The shape of the transmission seems like you could get almost all of it with a fluid extractor. It would be very important to measure what you took out and put that same amount back in if you were to do it that way. Great idea.
Also, here are all my Pilot videos (Be aware my Pilot has the 6-speed transmission where my Ridgeline has the 9-speed): 2019 Honda Pilot EX-L AWD ruclips.net/p/PL0pAqdmfaJaIqgV3DFyf-2NFO0CtCdcAT
Great video! Question: did you use the same “syringe” for both the diff and the transfer case, or you used a different one. If the same was used, how did you clean it? I’m planning on doing those 2 soon to my Pilot. Thanks!
Yes, I did use the same fluid extractor for both jobs. The Mityvac fluid extractor is easily cleaned as the plunger unscrews from the syringe leaving it wide-open to be flushed with water where it can dry in between uses. When you are doing a job like this all at one time, as long as you have the fluid extractor basically empty with just some residue inside the tubing, you wouldn’t have to clean it since you were going from one lubricant for the transfer case to another lubricant for the rear differential. The small amount of residue is going to be insignificant so you may prefer to not clean it until after you were done with the rear differential.
Not that I am aware of but you could always search your location to find out. I would think the liability involved would prevent most places from doing that.
