Quick reference
| Mileage | Service | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 5,000 / 10,000* | Oil and Filter Change | Replace engine oil and filter. Under normal driving conditions, the Honda Maintenance Minder system will illuminate the A or B service codes, typically around 7,500-10,000 miles. For severe driving conditions (frequent short trips, extreme temperatures, sustained high-RPM driving, towing), it is recommended to follow a 5,000-mile interval. |
| 10,000 | Tire Rotation | Rotate tires to ensure even wear. Inspect tires for wear and damage, and check tire pressure. |
| 15,000 | Cabin Air Filter Replacement | Replace the cabin air filter to maintain HVAC performance and air quality. |
| 30,000 | Engine Air Filter Replacement | Inspect and replace the engine air filter if dirty. More frequent replacement may be needed in dusty conditions. |
| 30,000 | Brake Fluid Flush | Replace brake fluid to maintain braking performance and prevent corrosion within the brake system. Honda recommends every 3 years regardless of mileage. |
| 30,000 | Differential Fluid Service (AWD models) | For All-Wheel Drive (AWD) models, replace the rear differential fluid. |
| 60,000 | Automatic Transmission Fluid Service | Replace the automatic transmission fluid. More frequent changes are recommended for severe driving such as heavy towing or mountainous driving. |
| 60,000 | Spark Plug Replacement | Replace spark plugs. |
| 60,000 | PCV Valve Inspection | Inspect the PCV valve; replace if necessary. |
| 100,000 | Coolant Flush | Service the engine coolant. Honda recommends using Honda Long-Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2. |
| 100,000 | Timing Belt Inspection/Replacement | The 2018 Honda Pilot is equipped with a timing belt that drives the camshafts. While Honda generally recommends inspecting the timing belt around 100,000 miles, replacement is typically recommended at this interval or after 7 years, whichever comes first, especially for peace of mind. Consult your owner's manual or a Honda dealership for the specific service based on inspection. |
| 100,000 | Accessory Belt Inspection | Inspect the accessory drive belt for cracks, fraying, or wear. Replace if necessary. |
| 150,000 | Fuel Filter | While not a regularly scheduled replacement item by Honda, some technicians may recommend inspection or replacement around this mileage, especially if fuel system issues arise. Consult your owner's manual for specific guidelines. |
*Note: The Honda Maintenance Minder system will indicate when service is due based on driving conditions and engine oil life.
