HOW TO: Change Honda Transmission Oil / Fluid for 2018 -2021 HONDA CLARITY

Honda Clarity Vlog 15 – A quick video on how to change the TRANSMISSION oil on my 2018 – 2021 Honda Clarity. This is part of the Service A0123 videos I made for my Road Tripping with Clare. It takes about 15 minutes to do this procedure with tools. I change my Honda Clarity when the Maintenance Minder notifies me or about every 50,000 miles on average. I saved me time and money (about $100+ ) from going to a dealership to do the transmission oil change.

HOW TO: SHARK Stick Vacuum – Filter & Roller Cleaning! Monthly Maintenance Routine!

After 2 months of using my Costco SHARK Cordless PET PLUS Stick Vacuum – ( https://amzn.to/3I8cuix ), I have been cleaning the foam and hepa filters and rollers every month and they are DIRTY! To maintain the performance of this vacuum, it only takes about 5 minutes to clean.

The floor attachment roller is very well designed to prevent hair and other items to be tangled in the roller. I noticed there were dust build up in the crevices and plastic nooks. Brushing and vacuuming all the dust helps the suction efficiency. You can also check and remove for any stuck fiber or debris from the roller and path.

You can remove the two sponge filters and clean them with water per the Shark owners manual, however I found using a drop of dish washing soap removes most of the trapped dirt faster and more completely than just a water rinse. It is evident in the darker water. Squeeze dry the sponge filters and let them completely dry before replacing.

I also clean the cone filter, however I only just rinse it with water and let it air dry completely.

Then clear waste bin also builds up dust along the edges and makes the case look gross. I rinse out and shake out all the dust buildup. Three rinses usually removes all the dust build up. I use a microfiber towel to dry and wipe the inside before letting it air dry completely before reinstalling.

Overall, the SHARK Cordless PET PLUS Stick Vacuum – ( https://amzn.to/3I8cuix ) is a great vacuum for the small home or apartment. You get great accessories for many cleaning situations. The suction is good for a stick vacuum. After 2 months of use, I find it very useful every day.

REVIEW: Costco MASSIMO 100 Watt Solar Blanket Folding Solar Panel

I bought a MASSIMO 100 Watt Solar Blanket ( https://amzn.to/3gne2JE ) at Costco for $179 for about 1 month now and it works well with my Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW )
Six months ago I bought a ROCKPALS 60 Watt Folding Solar Panel ( https://amzn.to/3nJZoRa ) which does great job in a smaller package.

Stuff in this Video:
MASSIMO 100 Watt Solar Blanket ( https://amzn.to/3gne2JE )
Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW )

My Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) is light and compact to bring with you during camping or off the grid. Its convenient and has AC outlet, USB ports for fast charging, and a 12 volt socket . Charging takes about 5-7hours depending of method. With the included AC or 12 volt car charger it charges at 62 Watts and is fully charged in about 5 hours.

I wanted to charge it while camping using solar so i bought MASSIMO 100 Watt Solar Blanket ( https://amzn.to/3gne2JE ).

According to Jackery’s manual it can only charge at about 60 Watts max, so buying a 60 Watt portable solar panel seemed like a great idea. Generally the more solar panel wattage the larger your panels will be depending on how its packaged. I wanted something light and compact and had a max charge of 60 watts so i dont damage my Jackery Explorer 240.

The MASSIMO 100 Watt Solar Blanket ( https://amzn.to/3gne2JE ) works fine on the Jackery 240. I got about 53- 68 watts in full sun which was expected as the the manual says it would take about 5 to 7 hours to charge using a 60 W solar panel.

I generally follow the sun during camping. Moving the panel from my car’s windshield, to the car roof, then to the rear window and trunk, while camping and get a good 4-5 hours of charging in. There are eye holes to hang or tie down the panel as well. I have the Jackery Power station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) in my car when charging and just have the wire go into my door weather strip.

Pros:

  • Compatible with other power stations
  • Compact folded size
  • Good / expected charging speed for solar.
  • Thick cables.
  • Three USB charging ports – well positioned in the storage area.
    Cons:
  • Slightly heavier than other folding solar panels due to wiring and packaging.
  • May need a chair or car to act as a stand to follow the sun.
  • Folds out at 77 inches or so, not as convenient as simple 2 fold panels.

Overall its a good performer and gets the job done. Produces closer to the 60W – 68W output for quickly charging my Jackery Explorer 240. .
