Fumoto, Fumoto, Fumoto!! Get the kind with the nipple, put a tube on the nipple and run the other end in a bucket or jug. Not a drop on the floor. For the filter - enclose it in a plastic bag prior to take off. This one takes a little practice but it works.

It is my understanding that FP60 will do you just as well under normal driving in gas engines. The new stuff is better for diesel.

The Family Dollar store about 10 miles away carries Havoline but not in the 5w20 I need. They have every other grade but that one. It is usually $1.79 qt. But I have to go 40 miles one way to find the nearest supplier of Havoline 5w20. I can't figure why the Dollar store does not stock it. I...

For my silver color Honda: Cleaner - Klasse AIO Sealant - Klasse SG, Jeff's Jett Wash - DP Waterless and QEW. If I shampoo (not often) I use Eagle One. Tires - Mguires Hot Shine Interior - Protectant 303 and Vinylx (vinyl) and Lexol (leather) Quick Detailers - Jeff's Acrylic Gloss, FK425...

I have a Honda Ridgeline V6-VTEC and the service schedule (based on the maintenance minder) is similar to yours except I have to drain and fill the differential fluid on my next service (which should be at the 12000 mile level). My OLM showed 15% oil life expectancy at around 6000 miles, which...

My 2006 Honda Ridgeline V6-VTEC engine has an OLM. The manual says to follow it and the maintenance minder for most every kind of fluid the thing takes and that includes the first oil change. Since I don't drive the truck in severe service, the OLM takes all the worry out of oil changes...

Since the next nearest gas station (grocery store pump) is ten miles away, I almost always go the Chevron mini-mart which is just three miles away. It is a top-tier gas and the techron additive is suppose to be very good. However, I still use FP60 every time I fill up. If there was cheaper gas...

2006 Honda Ridgeline V6-VTEC, 5w20 on cap and in manual.

I don't believe in an oil stash. Why waste garage space? About the time I need to change oil I look at the best price in the ads for Havoline dino. I buy it at the best price I can find and thats that.

Go with whatever the manual calls for. If it is 5w20 then you need not worry about any other weight.

The only gas station within ten miles of me is Chevron and the price now is only a few cents more than the next closest pump which is at a supermarket and is basically no name gas. Since it is closer and the price is about the same, I fill up with Chevron every time. It seems to perform well in...

I would also recommend Klasse AIO and SG. No wax will provide the length of durability of Klasse or most other acrylic or polymer sealants. But chances are even by using the Klasse twins, you will not get a year out of them but six months is very possible. Think of going 7500 miles on dino oil...

Havoline 5w20 with LC20 and FP60. You will probably see a little better gas mileage and synthetic like performance for a 7000 mile OCI. 7000 miles is streatching it for most dino oils but the additive LC20 should get you to that mark with no sweat. LC20 and FP60 are not expensive to use and...

I bought a similar pump from Harbor Freight Tools for $4.99. I plan on using it to replace my diff fluid in my Honda.

I have a silver Honda and use nothing but AIO topped with Klasse SG (sealant glaze). If I had a dark color I would probably go with a carnuba wax rather than a sealant over the AIO. Probably the best tip for using the Klasse twins is to apply very thin, if you see haze it is too thick. If you...

All I use on my new Honda (Billet silver color) is AIOx2 and Klasse SGx3. I do this twice a year and I have all the protection I need. I do keep the truck in the garage every night and use a homebrew QD mix of 1 part SG to 3 parts distilled water. These two factors rejuvenate and keep the...

I have a 2006 Honda Ridgeline and the manual also states to leave the factory fill in there for a while. People say it is a special "break-in" oil and others say that it is nothing more than a Superflo formula oil that is rich in moly due to the factory lubes during assembly. These people say...

My 2006 Honda Ridgeline has an OLM like yours and I thought it was a nothing more than a knock-off of GMs. I heard at the Ridgeline forum that it is similar in concept to GMs but much different in design and how/what it measures. I'm not sure in what way it does its job but a guy at the forum...

I have ordered a test kit (several weeks ago) but have not received it yet. Maybe this is the reason.

Thanks guys. I guess the LC and FP are overkill but I have a gallon of each so I'll use it up and then probably not even worry about it. As far as the oem recommendation all it says in the manual is change oil when the OLM says to. If you put so few miles on that the notice does not come on...
