Owner of a 2017 ridgeline 198k miles, I'm more surprised the atf looks decent for no maintenance. I would also do the transfer case + rear different at the same time. Also the atf online filter too Do not to overfill! a non planetary gear set transmission like Hondas before the 10 speed or zf 9speed this parallel shaft acts more like a manual transmission splash enough to carry through the gears. The hot on the dip stick is a range. i aim to be right in the middle because the fluid will fluctuate hotter depending on the load. I would add lubeguard black for aftermarket atf or lubeguard red for dw1
Great video for sure but you're definitely doing the process wrong when it comes to how you run the fluid through. Shifting gears at a stand still isn't doing shii. You need to actually drive the vehicle through the gears for atleast a few miles between each drain and drive in reverse a bit as well. Other than that... this video was absolutely 🔥🔥🔥
@@bennieaust Honda is wrong too. Supposed to drive through the gears. Never trust a stealership. They tell you certain things that aren't 100% true. That's how they stay in business. Reputable independent mechanics have better knowledge.
@@Frank-s3s I think you are missing the point here. This video is showcasing the Honda procedure. If I didn't follow the procedure, I would be doing it wrong. If you choose to do a different procedure that's totally fine and there is nothing wrong with that. It's just that it's not the Honda procedure anymore. I would encourage you to make a service video with your methods and post it here on RUclips!! That's what it's all about. And by the way, I fixed the issue with this transmission. It has not acted up once since I preformed this exact procedure. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great vid. Thanks man! This is exactly what’s happening to my 2016 pilot at 154k miles.
You’re welcome!
It continues to drive perfect since I serviced it. Hopefully you will have the same results!

Like it or not, this is the Honda procedure that I followed.
Thanks!
