Yes, the Honda approved method is as follows: Before starting out in the morning: Start and warm up the vehicle. When warm, move the shift lever through ALL positions of the shifting quadrant and finish by leaving it in neutral. Shut the engine off but LEAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION! REPEAT THIS SEQUENCE EVERY 500 MILES! By going through this procedure you pump Transmission Fluid into the transmission's gear trains and and pumps. Since the average motorhome driver usually doesn't exceed 500 miles driving in one day, this procedure probably needs only to be done, on average, once every day. ThHe reason for leaving the ignition unlocked is so that the front wheels of the towed vehicle can follow the motorhome on turns and are not locked in the straight-ahead mode.

How to tow a Chevy Equinox?
With the drive wheels off of the ground. Automatic transmissions depend on a pump to keep the internal transmission parts lubricated. If you tow ANY vehicle with an automatic transmission with the wheels on the ground (even in neutral) you will most likely burn the transmission up. The ONLY way around this is to let the car idle in neutral while being towed, or if it is RWD, disconnect the driveshaft. If the car has a manual transmission, you can simply tow it in neutral even with the wheels on the ground.
