Exactly what is due at each interval, and where severe-service conditions change it. ## 2016-2022 Honda Pilot maintenance schedule (High confidence) ### 7,500 miles / 12 months - Replace engine oil and filter (Minder code A/B; B adds brake, suspension, driveline inspection) - Rotate tires (sub-code 1) ### 15,000 miles / 24 months - Oil and filter - Tire rotation - Inspect brakes and fluid levels ### 30,000 miles / 36 months - Replace engine air and cabin filters (sub-code 2) - AWD rear differential fluid (sub-code 6) - Transmission fluid drain and fill (sub-code 3), conservative owners start here regardless of transmission ### 60,000 miles / 72 months - Repeat 30k services - Inspect drive belt and suspension bushings ### 100,000 miles / 120 months - Replace coolant (sub-code 5; then every ~60k) - Replace spark plugs (sub-code 4) Note: The Maintenance Minder governs. Mileages are typical equivalents. Given the 9-speed's judder history, many independent shops recommend a transmission fluid drain/fill every 30,000 miles rather than waiting for the Minder's sub-code 3. ## Which Honda Pilot model years does this cover? These service schedule specifications apply to every Honda Pilot built from 2016 through 2022, the 3rd generation (YF5/YF6), 3-row mid-size suv (fwd or i-vtm4 awd). Nothing in this specification changes between those model years. - [2016 Pilot](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/pilot/2016) - [2017 Pilot](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/pilot/2017) - [2018 Pilot](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/pilot/2018) - [2019 Pilot](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/pilot/2019) - [2020 Pilot](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/pilot/2020) - [2021 Pilot](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/pilot/2021) - [2022 Pilot](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/pilot/2022) ## What changed during the 2016-2022 Honda Pilot | Years | What changed | | --- | --- | | 2016 | Full redesign: J35Y6 V6 (280 hp), 6-speed standard on LX/EX, new 9-speed on EX-L/Touring/Elite, Honda Sensing available | | 2017 | Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration added | | 2018 | Carries over unchanged | | 2019 | Mid-cycle refresh: revised styling, idle-stop (auto start-stop) added to 9-speed trims (requires AGM battery), Honda Sensing standard across the lineup | | 2020 | Black Edition trim added, with exclusive exterior and interior styling | | 2022 | Final year of the 3rd generation; Special Edition trim on 18-in wheels | ## 2016-2022 Honda Pilot service schedule: common questions ### How often does a 2016-2022 Honda Pilot need servicing?
