Honda Pilot 2016-2018 Engine Oil Life and Maintenance Reset
Quick, comfortable, and refined, the third-generation Pilot is not exactly a joy to drive. Its three-row seating configuration, roomy cabin, and abundant interior storage make it an extremely functional vehicle. Power comes from a slick 3.5-liter V6 that is rated at 280 hp. We got 20 mpg overall in our tests of an EX-L with the standard six-speed automatic. We found the ride to be comfortable but handling ungainly, doing little to hide the Pilot's bulk. The knob-less touch screen infotainment system is unintuitive. Touring and Elite trims get a nine-speed that doesn't shift very smoothly and is stuck with an unintuitive push-button gear selector. Front- and all-wheel drive are offered, and the optional Honda Sensing safety system includes forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking. Only top trips get blind spot monitoring; some lower trims get LaneWatch, a camera-based system that is less useful and more distracting.
Maintenance items, which should be serviced at the same time that you replace the engine oil, appear on the MID.You can view them on the engine oil life screen at any time.
NOTICE:
Failure to reset the engine oil life
after a maintenance service results in the system showing incorrect
maintenance intervals, which can lead to serious mechanical problems.The
dealer will reset the engine oil life display after completing the
required maintenance service. If someone other than a dealer performs
maintenance service, reset the engine oil life display yourself.
