Honda Ridgeline oil change

[@adambrentemery]

Awesome step-by-step vid that applies to a number of the Ridgeline models, great work

[@airventure]

Nice, simple, and easy to understand for a future Ridgeline owner. Thank you!

[@autoresource7942]

you are welcome.

[@kurtalsiayo9567]

It is written on the cap of the engine that use w5-20 but you used w5-30 whats the difference? Thanks..

[@neonronin69]

Fantastic video you do a great job of not overcomplicating anything, perfectly straightforward!

[@wheresbrent]

Ridgeline uses 4.5 quarts of 5W20 according to the manual. Nice Video!

[@autoresource7942]

Thanks.

[@arthursmith643]

I’ve been tossing in the whole 5 quarts for years. A half quart over or under will not harm anything. It’s called a Forgiveness Factor that the engineers built into vehicles. They realized people do let there oil levels go over some and under some.

[@bruceking440]

Depends on which year. Newer ones use more.

[@scottc210]

Very nice Video... planning on purchase of new Ridgeline SE, June 2015. Your video helps my purchase decision... thank you!

[@autoresource7942]

you are welcome....

[@arthursmith643]

You can place a bread bag over the filter before you unscrew it. The dirty oil and filter will be dropped in the bag. Saves the mess from removing the filter. Give it a try.

[@elkofcanada5003]

And all these years I've been making a mess....

[@cdf8821]

I know it's late, but Great Idea!!

[@mcragosta]

good idea to crack the filter loose first. That way if it's stuck and you cannot get it off, you can drive it to repair shop - without having to put oil back in.

[@dgriffin6074]

The oil filter is difficult to remove without making a mess. The bread bag over the filter is a great suggestion. I also noted that if I remove the right front wheel, the oil filter is much easier to access and less of a mess is almost guaranteed.

[@leestewart3690]

Your video is still helping me today😉 😊 great video

[@utmsu2000]

Thank you! I have a 2006 Honda Ridgeline that I bought new in January 2006. It has 305,000 miles on it. I do most of my own maintenance but I really enjoy your videos. I hope to get 500,000 miles on it. I have a problem with my power steering because it makes a noise when the temperature outside is cold. I am going to make a fluid change but may have to change the “O” rings Do you have a video on how to do that? I really enjoy your videos!

[@ericcheng3024]

Did you actually add 4 quarts and it was full?

[@marcepan8142]

No need to pour oil into the new filter! Just lubricate the rubber band. Oil from Honda 5 W20 !!!

[@shannonneal3563]

2020 and still help me out. Couldn't seem to find the oil plug so I ended up here.....It was labeled and still missed it. Thanks.

[@arthursmith643]

Why 5/30 weight oil when the book says 0/20 or 5/20?

[@claytondelanie]

agreed

[@gloriadiventurasullivan9557]

Great Video! I have a 2010 Ridgeline. Calls for 5W30. 4.5 synthetic quarts.

[@autoresource7942]

thanks for sharing

[@KingstonDevote]

You did a great job Sir. I'll try do it myself next time thanks to your video!

[@autoresource7942]

thank you, good luck.

[@jerrybrown66]

How did you reset your B2 code?

[@darrelll1207]

Awesome video, thanks now I can change oil myself

[@Sonographer0699]

Wow awesome video. Great explanation! Thank you so much I have A1 maintenance reminder on so I will use these steps.

[@autoresource7942]

Thank you, have fun, be safe !

[@KM-yl4uy]

Ok, so how many quarts did you use exactly?

[@arthursmith643]

Toss in the whole 5 quarts it won’t harm anything. Goggle Bob Likis a top mechanic here on KZbin. In the search bar put in bob Likis will oil over filling harm my engine. He will explain the Forgiveness Factor.

[@sushigaming101]

I noticed that you have the outside temperature on the little screen. How did you display that? I don't see it on my 2007 Honda Ridgeline.

[@peterj754]

we have it there all the time....

[@thewalkindudenv]

Great video. Good instructions for a newbie like myself.

[@arthursmith643]

Toss in the whole 5 quarts. It won’t harm anything. It’s called a Forgiveness Factor. The engineers know people will add to much and have the oil level down some.

[@gutrebootsystem]

what type of oil filter do we use?

[@jejeffries3523]

I have a couple more steps before installing the new filter. Verify the old filter gasket isn't stuck to the filter mounting base and wipe it clean. Also apply a light film of new oil to the new filter gasket. I plan to use a 1/2" longer filter than the OE filter in hopes that the drool will hit the pan instead of anything else under there. But with only 340 miles on the vehicle that's a few thousand miles away. BTW, do you remember how many miles it was between oil changes?

[@peterj754]

Excellent, thanks for sharing....

[@bervotten]

very detailed. So how much oil did you end up adding.

[@GmGarlo]

did you loosen the oil plug previously because mine is on so tight , that i am scared to strip it . I know the oil plug bolt is made of good steel but even with an extension bar connected to it , it still will not break loose. The previous mechanic must of put it tighter than 92 ft lbs

[@peterj754]

That's insane....sorry to hear that

[@arthursmith643]

GmGarlo spray some WD-40 or some other Nut Buster on there. Let it sit for a few hours so it does what it suppose to do. Use the correct ratchet socket so it doesn't slip. Make sure the ratchet isnt on an angle. Keep it straight on the bolt.

[@arthursmith643]

GmGarlo squirt some WD-40 or any nut/bolt loosening oil around the edges of the bolt. Wait about a half hour then try sgain. It should come undone.

[@rolldog82]

Does mpg goes up when the more miles you put on the engine and transmission?

[@autoresource7942]

remigio de dios jr Still the same 17 MPG average, 20 MPG longer trips….

[@ranbandz7566]

What size wrench do I need for the drain plug

[@Pagaie101]

17mm

[@Bunkysworkshop]

I have a 07 Ridgeline with 118,000 miles. I have been getting my oil changed at the dealer and i know they use a oil blend. I think my engine sounds loud with this oil blend. Should i use full synthetic or stick with regular oil?

[@arthursmith643]

craigsclocks the valves are supposed to be adjusted at around 100,000 miles when the timing belt is due. Do not neglect that timing belt. There have a kit which includes the water pump tensioner and timing belt. If the belt breaks there goes the engine.

[@ugadawg520]

Great video, thank you!

[@kurtalsiayo9567]

What is the sirial number of the oil filter do you used?

[@arthursmith643]

Kurt Alsiayo Use the Mobil One extended performance oil filter. Wix is also a very good oil filter. Dont go to cheap. Some oil filters are built much better than others. The pleats inside are better and drain valves and springs are better quality

[@arthursmith643]

Kurt Alsiayo Mobil One oil filter is M1 110. Bosch 3323

[@scowell]

Love this guy... he loves his truck more than I love mine! I do, however, wipe the dipstick before each measurement... old habit, I guess.

[@autoresource7942]

+scowell Good Habit...

[@theresmcg23]

My Ridgeline is 2009. I have 60,000 miles. I just had my engine oil changed and the service provider used an oil blend. Seriously engine feels a little rough....is that my imagination? Should I just have it done again to the synthetic only?

[@autoresource7942]

theresmcg23 Honda says to use 5W-20 premium grade API Certified oil, preferably Honda Motor Oil. If other, make sure the API Certification seal says for For Gasoline Engines. You may use synthetic motor oil if it meets same requirements.........for myself, i use fully synthetic Mobil1 and engine runs excellent.........so question is, what oil is in your engine ? If not right one, replace ASAP, it can actually do damage.....and i believe you, you actually could hear the difference. Good Luck.

[@bobo1544]

Excellent job. Thank you

[@autoresource7942]

you are welcome...

[@kurtalsiayo9567]

All the vedio you posted is great well explain... however is there different using w5-20 and w5-30 0n 206 honda ridgeline

[@kurtalsiayo9567]

It is very very helpful all the video you posted i enjoy doing by my self. Do you have video on how to change break pad and rotors on 206 honda ridgeline... thank you very much...

[@arthursmith643]

Kurt Alsiayo Honda recommends 0/20 or 5/20. Check out Mobil One full synthetic or Castrol GTX ultra clean semi synthetic. Mobil One oil filter is a top pick for me. Believe me I do my home work.

[@arthursmith643]

Kurt Alsiayo Honda recommends 0/20 or 5/20. Use what the engineers tell you to use.

[@arthursmith643]

Walmart full synthetic super tech oil is good as any $15.00 for five quarts. Super Tech oil has all the numbers and letters as the big boy names and is API approved. Save your money you work to hard to give to fancy bottles and endorsements. Walmart does not make its oil.

[@aycock1ofmanyindustries828]

Perfect, Thanks!

[@TecNickelSwag]

Thank You

[@autoresource7942]

you are welcome….

[@ekonig19]

Not sure why you would use 5w30 oil in an engine that requires 5w20.

[@j4s0ni2ice]

Good video. Nice job.

[@autoresource7942]

Thank you.

[@markreynolds3850]

Thanks for sharing this video

[@arthursmith643]

Walmart Full Synthetic Super Tech oil for about $16.00 for 5 quart jug. All the fancy letters and numbers as the big boys. If you have the API donut on the back you good to go.

[@arthursmith643]

0/20 and 5/20 is recommended by Honda. Adding the other half quart will not harm the engine. Neither will being down a half quart. It's called a forgiveness level. Engineers know people maybe pour a little more in or be down a bit. No harm done either way. Use the correct weight oil. I don't know why he is using 5/30. No need to pre oil the filter but it won't hurt.no need to have the oil hot. Warm up a couple of minutes is plenty warm and will flow out just fine.

[@lyndonmansell351]

Driven warm helps get all the sludge out. Correct level is important, engineers don't expect a one litre variance in oil level !

[@SeeItQuick]

I am having a hard time removing oil drain plug.

[@arthursmith643]

Steven Ybarra Place the handle of your wrench inside a pipe or use a ratchet handle inside the pipe. Longer handle It gives more leverage. Possible over tightening at last oil change.

[@arthursmith643]

Why wait for the OLM to come on. Change the oil at least by 30 percent. Because that means 70 percent of the oil life is gone. If it’s at 20 percent that means 80 percent of the oil life is gone. I look at as the oil is the blood the oil filter is the kidneys the air filter is the lungs. Keep these as clean as you can and the vehicle will last a very very long time. You will go well over 200,000 miles with no problem with the engine.

[@anhduyle9295]

Thanks good video

[@arthursmith643]

Toss in the whole 5 quarts of oil it won’t harm anything. It’s called a forgiveness factor. A half quart over or under will not destroy your engine. You can Google Bob Likis on KZbin. Will over fill my oil harm anything. Forgiveness Factor.

[@chemota37]

Why 5-30 if engine says 5-20?

[@autoresource7942]

Because store didn't have 5-20 available.

[@chemota37]

If my truck has 120,000 miles, should I keep it 5w-20?

[@autoresource7942]

José Bermudez our truck has over 140,000 miles and i will keep using synthetic 5W-20 or 5W-30 Mobil1….which ever available.

[@chemota37]

Thanks boss!

[@chemota37]

auto resource Another quick question: How many miles until you change it again? I've never used synthetic before*

[@nathandrake9069]

Thanks very helpful

[@autoresource7942]

You are welcome….

[@Rilosis]

Cool.

[@autoresource7942]

Thanks.

[@seamussmith4982]

Thxs

[@soccerrocker759]

Uh Uh Uh.....5/20 in the Ridgeline not 5/30

[@autoresource7942]

dave ryles sure...

[@skirmich]

+dave ryles It wont hurt a thing.. 5W-20 is a scam to get 0.00002 better MPG compared to 5W-30

[@SENGVIN]

I bet you Czech; ;-)

[@autoresource7942]

you won, i am.

[@SENGVIN]

auto resource Cool me too , I also have a Ridgeline. I love this car. Next week I'm going to be installing Stainless Steel Bull Bar on it wish me luck lol
