I have done this on simpler engines and I know the Ridgelines engine very well, but I have never done this to my truck or anything like it.This is not all inclusive and I'm sure others will chime in.

I've seen on here in the past where others have questioned on how to do this because of a leak, and I've read through the manual on how to do it.
