Replying to: jlitterer (Aug 01, 2006 1:24 pm) You are wise. I'll follow your lead and use Honda filter through the warranty period. I will do my own oil change, keep receipts and document the day/time in the manual.
#102 of 140 Oil Change Interval by komodo519 Aug 02, 2006 (6:39 am)
I spoke with my dealer and the maintenance guys about what I have read here and on other boards and they said that there is NO set mileage limit for oil changes for an 06 Pilot. The computer tells you when to do it. It is based on a number of factors including engine temperature, type of driving (city or highway), and individual engine characteristics. They also told me that if someone at a Honda dealership tells you otherwise, they don't know their product. Replies to this message: hobbs03 (Aug 03, 2006 6:56 am)

Replying to: komodo519 (Aug 02, 2006 6:39 am) This is exactly what the rep from Honda N. America told me. The "scheduled maintenance" chart I got from my dealer is a not-so-cleverly disguised money maker.
#104 of 140 But.... by odie6l Aug 03, 2006 (1:51 pm)
most people also use their oil changes as reminders for other services like tire rotation, fliud level top off, battery check, and filters (air and oil).   I already went over to the local Goodyear and had the Lifetime Warrenty added to the Goodyears that came on the Pilot ($10.00 per tire). This way every 6000 miles I get the tires Repressured, Rebalanced, and Rotated for Free, and every 18,000 I get the 4 wheel alignment done (strongly recommended for 4WD vehicles). I have had this in the past on my Escape, and when I had a problem with the original 60k treadlife tires on the Escape, I got a Full replacement at no charge, but since the tire that was on there was no longer produced, it was replaced with a tire comperable at no charge.   Odie Odie's Carspace Replies to this message: steve_ (Aug 03, 2006 4:58 pm) komodo519 (Aug 03, 2006 8:16 pm) odie6l (Aug 04, 2006 12:26 pm) zeuspilot (Aug 23, 2006 11:05 am) odie6l (Aug 23, 2006 2:13 pm)

Replying to: steve_ (Aug 03, 2006 4:58 pm) Then the Honda reps should be telling people to check THOSE things at a certain mileage interval. Not get the oil changed at such and such mileage. I am not trying to be mean, but if an oil change is the only time that some people check for proper tire inflation, let alone the other things, then they deserve the problems that develop with their vehicle.

Replying to: komodo519 (Aug 03, 2006 8:16 pm) "Then the Honda reps should be telling people to check THOSE things at a certain mileage interval. Not get the oil changed at such and such mileage."   But don't forget, some care sales people don't know the vehicle's they sell or the maintence intervals from a hole in the wall. Then again, so sales people, will tell you all that, but customers will just plainly ignore it.   Odie Odie's Carspace
#108 of 140 Transmission fluid drain plug by jkoehler Aug 17, 2006 (3:59 pm)
Can anyone tell me how to locate the ATF drain plug on my 2004 Pilot? Thanks.
#109 of 140 Engine Shampoo by suvtime Aug 20, 2006 (2:48 am)
I have a 2003 Pilot and have noticed the engine is starting to look like it could use a cleaning. Do most of you bother doing this?   If so, do you take it to the dealer or buy something yourself and clean it. I'm afraid of just spraying down the whole engine and maybe ruining something. Any thoughts would be appreciated.   Thanks

Replying to: odie6l (Aug 03, 2006 1:51 pm) I purchased a '06 PILOT last month. I am not aware that you can add Lifetime Warrenty to the factory installed Goodyears. Would eb interested to get that. Is it an offer from your regional GY shops or rather nationwide? Thanks sj Replies to this message: odie6l (Aug 23, 2006 2:13 pm)
