Replying to: dktntn (Nov 11, 2007 2:40 pm) I too have an 06 EXL 4WD and have been following the service minder. I feel comfortable going by it. At the same time that I bought my Pilot, a friend of mine bought an 06 Accord. His use is mostly freeway so he gets his oil change minder on about 7-8000 miles, vs. my Pilot's use is mostly city and we get the oil minder much sooner. On the other hand, I also have an 08 Accord that I do mostly fwy commute with it and I have noticed the oil life gauge does not go down as fast as the Pilot. It sounds like your use is mostly freeway too. The manual says that if you don't get to 15% within a year you should change your oil once a year.
#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: absav (Sep 27, 2008 3:04 am) That weight oil is good for marine gas engines and truck diesels. Too thick for the 2.5L.   Try 5W-20 Mobil One for the best perfomance/longevity, IMO.   As always, YMMV. Replies to this message: absav (Sep 27, 2008 11:59 am)

Replying to: joemama33 (Sep 27, 2008 11:03 am) If this oil is made in a thinner state would it work? At this time I use it in my motorcycles with no problems. Thanks for your input.

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.
