ATF change MM (service #3)
OK my dearest copy and paste keyboard mechanics, trolls and off-topic discussion fans
Today I made forced MM code retrieval and the MM clearly showed to do ATF service at 60 K so the whole tread covering how often you need to change ATF is useless
, so don't listen to dealers or ::competent:: forum users just follow your MM (unless you drowned your car in the river which will total it anyways)
Here is the tip how to read your next recommended service codes (found it on Ridgeline forum) http://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/forums/showpost.php?p=300956&postcount=44
Turn ignition on, do not start engine
Select the OIL LIFE
Press and hold reset button for 10 seconds;
The MM will begin to flash the code (A13 on my car)
Release reset button
Turn ignition off
This action WILL not erase the oil life (it still shows 20% on my car)
If the change will work out OK I will post a DIY with special tools
