Sharp Honda - Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Honda Ridgeline
Owning a Honda Ridgeline means year-round capability, but keeping that capability strong depends on a smart, consistent maintenance plan tailored to how and where you drive. Our service team understands the truck’s V6 powertrain, i-VTM4 all-wheel-drive system, and the Honda Maintenance Minder that sets time and mileage-based reminders, so you never wonder what’s next. At Sharp Honda in Topeka, KS, we combine factory-trained technicians, Genuine Honda parts, and convenient options — including Honda Express Service Elite for many basic items — to help you stay on schedule without slowing down your day. Whether you use your Ridgeline for weekday commuting, weekend towing, or seasonal road trips, we’ll align your visits with your driving habits, the local climate, and Honda’s latest guidance. Every appointment includes a thorough, easy-to-read inspection that prioritizes safety systems, fluid health, and tire condition, and we’ll review findings with you before any work begins. If your truck is equipped with Honda Sensing®, we can also verify sensors and cameras are clean and calibrated after collision or windshield work. From quick oil changes to brake repairs and battery testing, our goal is long-term reliability, predictable ownership costs, and confidence mile after mile — with appointment times and turnaround designed around your schedule.

To get the most from your visits, follow a few proven steps: note any new noises or warning lights, bring recent fuel economy and towing usage, and plan ahead for seasonal extremes. The Maintenance Minder is your best guide — if a code appears between mileage targets, follow the Minder. If you tow, drive short trips, idle frequently, or operate in dusty or very hot or cold conditions, you are in a severe-use pattern and should shorten intervals accordingly. We document your service history so you can track what is due next, and we install OEM fluids and parts engineered for your Ridgeline’s 3.5-liter V6 and i-VTM4 components. When something unexpected arises, our diagnostics pinpoint the cause before parts are replaced, and we’ll present clear options so you can choose what fits your timeline. Model-year specifics can vary, especially for items like spark plugs, belt service, and fluid types — always reference your Owner’s Manual, the Maintenance Minder, or contact the manufacturer or our team for details.
