Me too. The staff at my local Honda took umbrage with me questioning the part number. I said that part# is wrong and they borderline yelled at me. Level heads prevailed and they explained that Honda has been changing the sourcing at least twice in the last 6 months. Each change brought a parts...

On the positive side, I returned the set of 3 filters to Amazon without issue. Drove by Honda and picked up an OEM filter which they assured me now has a new part#. Apparently it has changed twice in the last few months.
bought a pack of 3 off Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWG8JYDS a while back. 3 filters and 3 washers. Washers were not packaged with the filter; just rolling around the shipping box. seems legit but take a look, thx
Today was the first time I lifted up my FL5. Put it on some wheel cribbing and took a look underneath. I was surprised to see most of the under body had sheathing. I knew about the engine under tray but most of the rest is also covered in some kind of material. Can anyone tell me what it is and...

Hi,
Planning my first FL5 oil change. Would like to have spares on hand just in case. Can anyone provide a link for parts kit? Has anyone replaced with more durable hardware (is that even possible)?
Thx
First time doing something like this. I decided to go a bit further than just using a black marker so I sanded with 400/600/1000 sadly I couldn't get out some of the deeper nicks. Definitely could have used some filler.
Paint: Dupli-Color Wheel Paint, Satin, Black
Clear : Rust-Oleum Universal...
I was motivated by this thread to hunt down a full sized stock spare. It took a while. It is a pretty rare item and people are asking outlandish prices for singles. I finally tracked down someone on FB who had 3, sold me one for a reasonable price. I now have a roadside emergency kit that I can...
