| I've had it for about a month. Put on more then 4100 miles & my oil change life percentage shows 60% left. Granted most of those miles are at easier highway speeds, how much longer should I wait to get a oil change. I haven't had it changed yet. I was told even for the 1st change to watch the engine recommendation, but at this pace it might be 8,000 miles or more. Any advice? Thanks! | |

Replying to: mikenak (Nov 03, 2008 2:55 pm) I have an EX-L without the RES. I have turned the interior lighting on and off using the switch on the overhead but have not had any problems with it doing anything other than being on or off. The horn beeps on the 2nd click of the door lock function whether the dome lights are switched on or off. I'd take the car back to the dealer and show them the problem. As to the oil change concern, I trust the Honda engineers. I've got a '99 Odyssey with about 100,000 miles and have been changing the oil every 6,000 or twice a year since new. I fully expect to have problems other than engine wear to be the cause of this car's demise. Modern engines don't cause the oil to break down so readily because much less fuel gets into the crankcase. Additives in the oil help as well. |

Are oil changes every 3,000 miles really needed? My Nissan gets dead dino every 7,500 miles (or longer) just like the manual says. It's at 129,000 now and never had an oil related issue. |

Worked so hard on researching specs, prices and competitors that I bought the Pilot without a specific color in mind and now I have to decide... Anybody love or hate the color combo they picked? Considering Billet with grey leather. Nimbus with beige or Cherry with beige.

Replying to: bossoxfan (Nov 14, 2008 7:02 am) I wasn't really in love with any of the exterior colors but unfortunately the beige interior only was offerred on a few -- the nimbus grey, the silver grey and maybe one other. I ended up with the Nimbus Grey and its fine. I like the interior and am neutral on the exterior. |

Hello everyone, I have been driving my 2009 EXL Pilot for about a week now and I love it. It is lot better than the 2006 SR5 4runner I have been driving for the past 3 years. Anyways I wanted to see if anyone had any information about some topics I want to discuss. 1) I just bought a cargo cover for my Pilot and noticed it does not fit properly. Basically the 3rd rolw seat belts get in the way and have to be moved out of the way inorder for the cargo cover to be pulled all the way over. Does anyone have a quick fix for this? Is there a latch for the seat belts where I can fasten them out of the way? 2) I am thinking about adding the 2nd row sun shades. They are about $135 each side. The parts guy at the Honda store said that I did not have to remove the door panel in order to install the shade, but after looking at a Touring model, it seems like I do have to remove the panel in order to get the shade in. Anyone have any recommendations or thoughts? Thanks!
