Replying to: scottgbwi (Nov 09, 2008 7:49 am) Scott, I have never followed Honda's suggested oil change guidelines. I purchased an 09 Touring in June and changed the oil after 1500 miles. Thereafter, I change the oil every 3000 - this isn't because I'm "old school" but because I've seen the oil after 3000 miles and it is really dirty and thinner.   I'm on my 6th Honda (my 3rd Pilot) and have never had a problem.

Replying to: rich357 (Nov 09, 2008 8:31 am) You can't really tell anything about oil by looking at it (unlike tranny fluid, it's supposed to look dirty).   If you have concerns then spend $20 on an oil analysis. Otherwise just save your money and save some resources.   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.
#913 of 1070 2009 Honda Pilot EXL - Color pick by bossoxfan Nov 14, 2008 (7:02 am)
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'd recommend you consider picking an exterior color that offers the beige interior. My experience and those of others I have spoken with or read elsewhere is that the beige /black plastic combo looks a lot better and less plastic-like than the grey-black combo. But this is subjective so just look for yourself and decide.   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.

Replying to: bossoxfan (Nov 14, 2008 7:02 am) Have billet silver with grey interior. Silver looks great with the grey piece in the front grill, I think that piece looks odd against other colors. Would have preferred darker interior but not offered with billet.

Replying to: rich357 (Nov 09, 2008 8:31 am) Honda recommends not changing your oil until the oil-life monitor signals you to do so, especially for the first oil change. This is because Honda puts in a special oil at the factory that is made to capture the tiny metal particle "shavings" that come off of the engine during the thousands-of-miles it takes it to fully break-in the engine.   Go to 15% Oil Life, or 12 months, whichever comes first.   Best regards,   TheGraduate

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! Replies to this message: tommate (Aug 26, 2009 8:26 pm)
#918 of 1070 Opening Liftgate by shift Nov 25, 2008 (1:05 pm)
I am having a hard time opening the liftgate for a 2009 Pilot EX 4wd. After I clicked twice on the remote control. I pressed and hold the handle but it will not open, it will just open about an inch and still latched and then if I pushed it all the way in to close it, it will locked.

Replying to: shift (Nov 25, 2008 1:05 pm) Sometimes my remote needs me to click 3 times before all doors unlocked. Replies to this message: steve_ (Nov 26, 2008 3:52 pm) shift (Dec 09, 2008 9:27 am)

Replying to: bigdadi118 (Nov 26, 2008 3:01 pm) Need a new battery in the fob? Maybe find and clean the electrical contacts on the hatch.   Try pointing the business end of the fob at your chin instead of at the car and see if that helps. (no, I'm serious ).
