Why check the motor oil level in my Honda Pilot?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Honda Pilot engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

Can I change my Honda Pilot oil at home?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Honda exhaust smoke gray or blue?

How Often to Get 2024 Honda Pilot Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2024 Honda Pilot? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2024 Pilot’s oil should be changed according to Honda’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Honda-recommended oil change intervals, your Pilot may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Honda recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Honda Pilot. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What’s the Right Type of Oil for 2024 Honda Pilot?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2024 Honda Pilot motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Honda has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best oil for 2024 Honda Pilot vehicles.

In an oil change service, an auto technician will change your Pilot’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Pilot by taking into account your driving habits, and odometer.
