Scotty,
DIY repair manuals are not available for most vehicles after 2012.
I have a 2018 Ridgeline and want to perform basic maintenance. Where do we go to find online repair guides?
From what I have researched, most are now subscription services. What is the best site for Honda repair guides? I don’t mind paying a reasonable fee.
This Ridgeline forum should provide a lot of answers

You might also check with your local library - mine provides access to Alldata and Chilton
I have found this site to be helpful - https://repairpal.com/problems
You are a rockstar!! $125 for a month for all Hondas. Not bad. I have my accord, ridgeline and passport.
I second Glen Stet's recommendation. My library has shelves of Chilton and Haynes repair manuals. In addition, they have online access to the Chilton library, for FREE!
Chilton vs Haynes: which would you recommend? I know they're both made by Haynes currently, and some cars they only have one or the other, but if there is both which is best?
I use ALLDATADiy for all of my vehicles: the link is listed in my signature below. I highly recommend them, and it’s also what Scotty has recommended in the past (and himself uses).
You can also try Mitchell DIY site. Several of my mechanics have Mitchell (but the comprehensive professional package which is super expensive, makes sense for a shop/business). But, it turns out Mitchell makes one for DIYers that is actually very affordable.
Do it Yourself Automobile Repair Manuals - Mitchell 1 DIY (eautorepair.net)
I haven’t tried Mitchell so can’t comment on that - it might be worth getting both for a month and trying them out to see which you like better and then go with that.
