Learning how to schedule and perform
car maintenance
is so important for new drivers! It is great that you are doing this together.
The
Honda Pilot
takes premium-grade SAE 0W-20 synthetic oil with detergents. The manufacturer recommends Genuine Honda motor oil, but you can choose any brand with an API certification seal.
The 0W-20 designation refers to the weight and viscosity of the oil your car needs. It is important to stick with the type recommended by the manufacturer because your car’s engine is designed to work best with oil that has that viscosity.
