How Much Transmission Fluid Does a Honda Pilot Take?

As the vehicle’s primary component responsible for lubricating the moving parts, transmission fluid is vital for the longevity and maintenance of your Honda Pilot. In this article, we’ll dive into the important details about how much transmission fluid your Pilot takes. Before we dive into that, let’s establish that it’s recommended to consult your owner’s manual for specific transmission fluid information, as this varies among model years and transmissions types.

How to Find the Transmission Fluid Capacity on Your Honda Pilot:

Locating the transmission fluid capacity on your Pilot isn’t as daunting as you might think. The exact process may differ for the following model years (and onward):

• 2012-2014:Check the transmission oil fill cap for a rating** on the edge.

• 2015-present:Check the owner’s manual for the recommended viscosity** (7-9W-40 or 0W-16 W) and consult online guides or contact Honda service directly.

What Do Those Numbers Mean?

While understanding transmission fluid viscosity might seem complicated, grasping the importance will ultimately lead to optimal engine maintenance:

• Thickness of fluid: W -30W: thinner for hot weather, 0W-16 W: thinner for daily use.

• Number before the "W"- Cold-start, thinner & lubricant (best range for Honda Pilot:4.5 to 7.5 L.).
