6 common questions answered
Is the oil filter replaced every time a 2017 Honda Ridgeline has its oil changed?The 2017 Honda Ridgeline’s oil filter should be replaced with the oil according to the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.
The manufacturer’s published maintenance schedule for this model year calls for replacing the oil filter every 20,000 miles. Replacing the filter with the oil prevents a loaded filter from sending unfiltered oil through the engine after the bypass valve opens.
- Filter matched to the 3.5-liter V6 engine
- Applicable drain plug gasket or washer replaced
- Filter seal checked for leaks after the engine runs
What is included in an oil filter replacement on a 2017 Honda Ridgeline?An oil filter replacement includes an engine-matched filter, the applicable drain plug gasket or washer, and a post-service leak check.
The service addresses the filter and its seal as part of the oil service. The filter captures debris carried by the oil, while the gasket or washer supports the drain plug seal where the engine uses one. After the engine runs, the filter seal is checked for leaks.
- Filter matched to the engine’s specification
- New drain plug gasket or washer where applicable
- Leak inspection at the filter seal
What happens if the oil filter on a 2017 Honda Ridgeline is not replaced?If the filter becomes loaded and is not replaced, its bypass valve opens and oil circulates without filtration.
A loaded filter does not stop the engine getting oil; it stops the engine getting filtered oil. That allows the debris the filter was holding to remain outside the normal filtration process. The manufacturer’s schedule and the vehicle’s service history help determine when replacement is due.
- Unfiltered oil can circulate through the engine
- Oil may darken quickly after a change
- An oil-pressure warning or noisier engine may draw attention
Does a 2017 Honda Ridgeline need a specific oil filter?Yes, the filter must be matched to the 3.5-liter, 3,471 cc V6 engine, and filters are not interchangeable across engines.
The correct filter is selected for the engine fitted to the 2017 Honda Ridgeline rather than chosen as a universal component. Matching the filter helps it perform its intended debris-capturing function. Coggin Honda Saint Augustine can fit the filter matched to this engine during the service.
- 3.5-liter engine displacement
- 3,471 cc engine displacement
- V6 engine layout
Can the oil be changed on a 2017 Honda Ridgeline without changing the filter?The oil can be changed separately, but the filter should be replaced with the oil according to the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.
Keeping an old filter in place allows it to continue loading with debris. Once its bypass valve opens, oil circulates unfiltered, so stretching the filter across two changes defeats the purpose of routine filtration. The vehicle’s schedule and service history determine when the filter replacement is due.
- Filter holds debris carried by the oil
- A loaded filter can open its bypass valve
- Oil and filter service addresses both maintenance items
