Any tips and all info needed here, thanks in advance. I keep hearing its "easier than an oil change", so instead of paying the dealer $100 I figured I would try it myself.

Also all the hondas I have seen use a 3/8s ratchet with no socket on it.
You just plug the 3/8 ratchet right into drain plug and take it out.. also clean all the junk off it b.c it has a magnet
you will see in videos
its soooooooooo easy
