A 2009
Honda Pilot’s
oil type is 5W-20 synthetic motor oil.
It is important to use the correct oil in your engine. Using the wrong type of oil can lead to decreased fuel economy, reduced engine power, and even total engine breakdown.
You can tell if you’ve used the wrong oil in your Honda Pilot if you notice any of the following issues:
  • Your engine has trouble turning over in the winter
  • You hear a ticking sound coming from your engine in cold weather
  • You smell burning oil
  • You notice your car leaking oil
  • You find yourself filling up your gas tank more frequently
If you think that you may have put the wrong oil in your Honda Pilot, you’ll need to take your car in for an oil change as soon as possible.
Regular maintenance will keep your cost of car ownership low and help you avoid expensive repairs due to wear and tear. Adhering to your vehicle’s oil change schedule is one of the easiest ways to care for your car’s engine and will go a long way.
