P500 First Service

Last weekend we changed out the differential oil. I went with the Royal Purple 75w-140 oil.

Today we changed the oil and filter. Other than having issues with one of the phillips head bolts, everything went well. I used a Honda OEM filter and Honda GN4 10W-40 oil.

Thanks to Hondasxs for the oil change guide thread and for answering some questions I had. It really helped out.

And thanks to jak9922 for helping me out as well.

Welcome here. Glad you had a successful oil change. Let's see your ride.

Wow, that's amazing. I remember when I brought the new baby home. He looked just like that! You're going to have so much fun customising that little P5, and you've come to a great forum full of helpful gents who will encourage and inspire you along the way. What's headed your way on the brown box truck right now?

Might be awhile before I can get the things I would like to get..My wife lost her job a week or so after we got it, so the accessories have kinda been put on hold.

But I would like to get a roof and rear basket rack to start with.

And I really like this forum. So many great posts and ideas on here.

I'm sorry to hear that, tell her I wish her luck as she seeks new employment. Those two mods are a very good start!
