![]() Here are some other quirkiness-es about it. If the MM on your 2023 Pilot is like my son's CRV, you may at least have a heads up to pending maintenance. So while my Pilot will only display 70%, my son's CRV displays 70% B12, indicating the oil & filter will need to be changed along with a tire rotation and air & cabin air filter change once 15% shows up. On my son's 2018 Honda CRV however it shows all upcoming service by maintenance codes along with the current percentage level. When it hits 15%, then all the suggested maintenance codes show up and are displayed. KingRanch27I'm not familiar with the current generation of Honda's maintenance minder system, but it may be worthwhile going into your vehicle's systems settings to see how it displays your maintenance status at the present time. Also, an extra/early rear differential fluid change at 7,500 miles.īased on at least one post, from an owner in NY who made short trips in stop-and-go traffic and reported that the MM was indicating that an oil change was needed after only about 3,000 miles, it would seem that the MM can account for severe use and adjust the OCI accordingly.įor those uncomfortable with trusting the OCI as determined by the MM, the suggestion has been made to perform an extra oil/filter change when the MM oil life reaches 50% - but do not reset the MM at that time, because it will upset the schedule for all of the other maintenance items that are indicated when the oil life reaches 15% and below. The severe service schedule called for oil changes every 3,750 miles, versus 7,500 for the normal schedule. The only thing that I included on the TL was a brake flush at about 80-90k but I didn’t notice any huge difference or improvement so I don’t know when I’ll get to that on either of our current vehicles.Ĭlick to expand.The first post in the linked thread has a time/distance maintenance schedule based on the schedule from the early first-generation Pilots, which did not yet have the maintenance minder. I did the same thing with my 2010 TL that my Pilot replaced and it was rock solid up until the day I sold it at 150k. Those are the main things that I stay up on and her car has been absolutely bullet proof for 80k so far. tires, brakes and other ancillary things as need.timing belt, water pump, thermostat, tensioner, serpentine belt, plugs at 100k.tranny, front diff (PTU), rear diff fluid at 50k.cabin filter every other oil change or once a year. ![]() air filter every oil change or every other depending on conditions.oil change with Mobil 1 and a Honda filter (do whatever mileage you feel comfortable at) and tire rotation at every change.I plan on doing the same thing with my Pilot that I do with my wife’s ‘17 MDX (J35Y5)…… I don't think that's unreasonable.Ĭlick to expand.Well thought out post. Regardless, being in Texas where weather usually reaches "extremes" year round, I plan to change our Pilot at 5,000 mile intervals with a good quality 0w20 full synthetic/Honda OEM filter. I don't have experience with the Honda "maintenance minder" system yet, but my counterpoint would be that typically intelligent oil life monitors usually don't do a good job of accounting for "severe use" conditions. ![]() OCIs can likely be extended by a lot of "enthusiast" owners without any issue. Regarding engine oil, I think you're probably right in the general sense. Without a guide, I'd assume the fluids would be ready to change around the 30k mark? I was just looking for the values the Honda maint minder would flag off of as a starting point. That said, my request for the maintenance schedule was primarily driven by the trans, front/rear diffs and any PTU/transfer case. I would also contend that 10k for any oil in a ~6 quart GDI engine is probably a bit too long, unless the J35Y8 is some kind of anomaly. ![]() Click to expand.Regarding engine oil, I think you're probably right in the general sense. ![]()
