Thanks to all of you here who contribute to the maintenance threads...
Done the ATF fluid change drain/fill 1x... the fluid looked ok as this was the fourth or is it third???
I decided to use the dipstick hole to fill and it was a breeze using 3/8" tubing, though I had to heat up the ends with a hairdryer and widen the two ends with the funnel tip so that it would go over the dipstick hole and stay put, tight.
Draining was a pain as I'm not so skinny and the Pilot left unjacked/on wheels. But after the drain bolt was out, everything else went smoothly.
Thanks again carguy07 and others for saving me NEEDED money.
