#11 of 14 shell rotella oil by absav Sep 27, 2008 (3:04 am)
I have a 2004 pilot with 60k and everything is in fine running shape. I've been reading good things about Shell Rotella 15-40w oil. Has anyone used this product in their Pilot or any other vehicle? Replies to this message: joemama33 (Sep 27, 2008 11:03 am) absav (Sep 27, 2008 11:59 am)

Replying to: dktntn (Nov 11, 2007 2:40 pm) I have the same problem. I change the oil before the light comes on. The dealer won't do it until the 20% light comes on so I do it myself now. When the light comes on you can reset the code light. I am still looking for a list of all the different codes and what they stand for.
