2006 Pilot: Transmission Fill Location

Written by: vibo on Nov 09, 2008 10:54 PM

Will someone describe where I might find the transmission fill location on my 2006 Honda Pilot (EX 4wd)? I have found the drain plug underneath, and of course the ATF dipstick, but I cannot find the fill plug. The location is not given in the owner's manual. Perhaps Honda does not want "Weekend mechanics" doing weekend maintenance. Any help would be great!! Thank ... Read More...

Honda Pilot EX 2009 Lease

Written by: slt3 on Nov 04, 2008 05:31 AM

I have a 2006 EX Pilot with the lease ending 2/4. We went in just to look and they are offering us the 2009 EX 4WD Pilot for $428 a month with 15K, 36 months, and $1496 at signing. Is this a reasonable deal? We have 3 payments left on our current lease- where do they "hide" that money? They say they eat the cost, but isn't it figured in somewhere? They said they are figuring ... Read More...

Re: Battery indicator green, but dies in accessory mode [mitch65]

Written by: vibo on Oct 31, 2008 11:08 AM

I apologize, it was not a Delco battery, it was a Delphi battery. I have no opinion as to Delphi or Delco batteries. My point is that Honda is very particular about its suppliers of components. For example, when you read through Honda owner's manuals, it specifies Honda fluids and parts in every situation, from refill to replacement. According to the owner's manual, ... Read More...

I took my 06 Pilot (with 27k miles) in for a routine oil change, and when they returned the keys to me they said they changed the battery. It was covered under a warranty. I am in Las Vegas so temps are 100+ between May and Aug, so batteries do not last as long here. When I bought the Pilot back in 2006, I noticed the brand of battery was "Delco". At that time I thought wow, ... Read More...

Honda Pilot after the accident

Written by: seaspotsranch on Jul 09, 2008 03:56 PM

A few weeks ago a drunk driver hit my beautiful 2006 Honda Pilot. Fortunately we were not in the car and she was taken to jail. I should be getting my car back tomorrow or the next day. I've missed my navigation and heated seats. Still, we will trade it in and get something that hasn't been in an accident because that is what we do. We are struggling w/ the '09 Pilot pricing. ...

Re: Re-emerging Incentives [poodog13]

Written by: zorkon on Oct 17, 2008 07:16 AM

I am waiting it out because Honda is simply asking too much for the Pilot. As far as I am concerned, they can keep reducing their production levels until there is only 1 Pilot on each dealer's lot. I'd like to buy new, but the 2009 are already aging and are priced so far above the used market its an insane premium. To drive out the lot and be $10,000 under water just does ... Read More...

MDX vs Pilot and problems

Written by: pilotsearcher on Aug 27, 2008 11:47 AM

Hello all- I am leaning towards purchasing a used (2006-2005) MDX but also considering the Pilot. What do you think the financial incentives will be post-labor day? Any 0% for 36 month financing, or extending 0.9% for more than 36 months? And anything I should be evaluating between the pilot and mdx other than cost? Anyone have both or experienced what repair/maintenance ... Read More...
