Kinja'd!!!

I had no forewarning or anything. Just a truck, a uniformed guy standing there asking if I’m Ash. Thankfully the exchange went smoothly, but I’ve got my work cut out for me in the coming days.

Apparently most Honda trannies only allow about 1/4 of the ATF to be drained at a time, so the change process is a progressive dilution over multiple maintenance events. At least it’s DIY so I can just space it out at my convenience.

The pic at the top is what happens when you don’t change you Honda ATF for 100k miles.

That is legitimately terrifying and is a mark in the “CONS” list I’m comiling regarding buying a bike. Good thing you and everyone else are okay.. Except the poor bike

My wife’s Equinox is the same way. I’ve done 3 so far and have enough ATF for one more “change,” but I hate it and I want it to die so I keep putting it off.

They just wanted to make sure you have enough alcohol, tobacco, and firearms to enjoy being American.

Every time I open my kitchen cabinet, Lee Greenwood plays a song.

Sadly, modern cars are more like annoying relatives. They last forever and the death is slooooowwww. I kind of miss the old days of “my engine blew up” stories.

Or in the hot rodding world:

“My engine blew up.”

Just pull off one of the cooler hoses and run it while filling through the top

If by “hot rodding” you mean “every car enthusiast,” then yeah. Odyssey’s tires getting low, time to scour ebay for better rims and tires...and big brake kits. H&R Sport Springs. Wife will never even notice.

No, I did not. I saw one flaming wheel surrounded by ATF agents, so I assumed it was a bike.

Please accept my sincerest apologies for igniting your snark.
