Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Pilot?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Pilot firing up its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Why does my Honda engine sound different?

Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Honda Pilot engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Honda Pilot engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Can I put water in my Honda Pilot radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Pilot when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What can cause the engine in my Pilot to suddenly stop?

Reasons your Pilot car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
