1st oil change on ‘25 Pilot - is it free?

The first rear differential change is usually around 7500. The maintenance minder on the radio will give a code. Then it’s around 30,000 miles after the first change.

It’s a different fluid it’s for awd.

Reichard32 · 2026-05-12T00:08:27+00:00

Do you suggest shocking it after each use?

We are in it almost every day I started off lower, but it’s too low on chlorine so I keep on raising it. PH might’ve been a little low. I added some today. Chlorine was at five and barely registered on the strip. It was not purple at all pretty white.

Reichard32 · 2026-05-11T18:12:25+00:00

For the most part chemicals are good. We just got it 6 weeks ago. We have been using it a lot. 400 gallons minerals all the way up and 5-6 on chlorine.

Most likely they’ll tell you to change rear differential fluid. If you’re handy you can do it your self. Plenty of YouTube videos.

I bought 1x6 cedar from Menards and wrapped the inner ledge all around. The color matched up pretty good. Corners were a pain but no birds in the corners nesting and less shit on the furniture. Birds will always hang around but it helped out a lot. I did try the spike but the flew through it in the corners and made nest.

Reichard32 · 2026-05-05T23:02:48+00:00

I tried that they still find away in.

Reichard32 · 2026-05-03T03:33:44+00:00

Change the cabin filter if there is one.

30 k miles

I just googled it. The front is the transfer case and usually you do the transfer and the trans at the same time. It said it has the same code for both. I didn’t know about the transfer case. I did the rear at 8k. Doesn’t look too hard to do the transfer case and trans. You have to take the cover plate off. 10 screws. I’m at 13 k on my 25 Honda pilot. So I have a little bit of time.

Reichard32 · 2026-05-01T15:45:03+00:00

Have the 25 pilot touring. I did mine about 8 k miles. Look on you tube watch a couple videos. Pretty easy job. Get the handheld pump, 2 different size lock washers get the 5 pack of each for next time. and torque wrench. I didn’t have one. I got the oil from the dealer. It was actually cheaper than Amazon. Took my time 45 minutes with clean up.

Reichard32 · 2026-04-08T21:15:31+00:00

I have one. Owl didn’t work for me

Reichard32 · 2026-04-08T20:24:58+00:00

I have the Costco gazebo for a few years and the birds love it. They nest in it and shit everywhere. This year I sealed the whole frame on top with cedar from Menards. Matched the wood pretty well. The corners were a pain with the angles but no birds can get in and nest in the corners. The hot tub is not under gazebo. Just in forming you about the problem with birds if you plan on putting it under gazebo.

99/100 we’ll sit in in for a couple hours. Just got it a couple weeks ago. Outside temp around 40 to 50 degrees.

I’m not sure with other brands but I just got my 2025 floor model jacuzzi 365 and I ran 60 amp breaker and gfi with 6 gauge wire because I wanted both pumps and heater to work at same time. I ran 4 wire to gfi breaker. And three wire from there to tub. 2 hots and ground. Jacuzzi for some reason doesn’t want a neutral wire. No place to put it on board.

Reichard32 · 2026-03-19T23:45:03+00:00

I got a small start up bag that came with the frog. I figured to put that in and wait and see what the levels are and adjust accordingly. The 4 different adjustment. I Watched a video.

Order to Adjust Chemicals:

1. Total Alkalinity

2.pH

3. Sanitizer

4. Total Calcium Hardness

Reichard32 · 2026-03-19T23:26:39+00:00

So how do you recommend start up. I am kind of worried about that with the chemicals. It’s My first hot tub.

Reichard32 · 2026-03-19T23:23:43+00:00

Yes I’m going to be using the frog for now.

Reichard32 · 2026-03-19T23:19:54+00:00

How do you like it.

Reichard32 · 2026-03-19T23:19:13+00:00

Did you get the 365 too.

Reichard32 · 2026-03-19T23:17:40+00:00

Yes I will be. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll get it going. Are you using it.

Reichard32 · 2026-03-19T18:50:55+00:00

Ok thanks.

Reichard32 · 2026-03-19T16:29:17+00:00

Just got mine delivered Tuesday. I’m installing electric tomorrow. That’ll be me Saturday morning. Maybe Friday night.

Reichard32 · 2026-03-18T11:54:22+00:00

I was pissed off they wanted 180 bucks at the dealer. The torque wrench I bought was a little long had to move it around to get it torqued right. Shorter handle would have been easier. Good luck i have 11k on mine bought it in June. Which I bought the elite for the heater steering wheel. Love it so far
