6 common questions answered
Is the oil filter replaced every time a 2020 Honda Ridgeline has its oil changed?The oil filter should be replaced with the oil according to the manufacturer's maintenance schedule for the 2020 Honda Ridgeline.
A filter collects debris as oil circulates through the 3.5-liter V6 engine. Once it loads, the bypass valve opens, allowing oil to circulate without filtration. Replacing the filter with the oil avoids stretching a loaded filter across another service.
- Manufacturer's schedule: replace the oil filter every 20,000 miles.
- The filter is replaced alongside the oil.
- Service history helps guide the next appointment.
What is included in an oil filter replacement on a 2020 Honda Ridgeline?The service includes a filter matched to the engine, a new drain plug gasket or washer where used, and a leak check after the engine runs.
The work is performed alongside the oil service. The technician checks the filter seal after operation to confirm the connection is not leaking. Larry H. Miller Honda Murray uses factory-trained Honda technicians and genuine Honda parts.
- Engine-matched oil filter.
- New drain plug gasket or washer where applicable.
- Post-service filter-seal leak check.
What happens if the oil filter on a 2020 Honda Ridgeline is not replaced?A loaded filter can open its bypass valve, allowing oil to circulate without being filtered.
The engine still receives oil, so the issue may not be immediately obvious. However, debris carried by the oil can continue circulating instead of being held by the filter. The manufacturer's maintenance schedule and the vehicle's service history determine when replacement is due.
- The filter accumulates debris from circulating oil.
- The bypass valve opens when the filter loads.
- Oil flow can continue without filtration.
Does a 2020 Honda Ridgeline need a specific oil filter?Yes, the filter must be matched to the 3.5-liter, 3,471 cc V6 engine, because filters are not interchangeable across engines.
The correct filter fit supports the engine's oil service and sealing requirements. Larry H. Miller Honda Murray matches the filter to the engine actually fitted to your Ridgeline without relying on a universal part. The manufacturer's schedule and service history help determine when the filter should be replaced.
- Engine: 3.5-liter V6.
- Displacement: 3,471 cc.
- Filter fit is determined by the engine.
Can the oil be changed on a 2020 Honda Ridgeline without changing the filter?An oil change can be performed separately, but the filter should be replaced with the oil according to the manufacturer's schedule.
The filter holds debris carried away by the oil, and a loaded filter can open its bypass valve. Replacing both during the scheduled service keeps the filtration component from being stretched across two changes. Your service history and the manufacturer's maintenance schedule determine the appropriate timing.
- Oil and filter service are performed together.
- The filter captures circulating debris.
- A loaded filter may allow unfiltered oil to circulate.
