2017 Honda Pilot Elite AWD with 9-speed ZF tranny. Drained factory coolant at the 5 year mark and refilled with SuperTech Extended 50/50. Dealer quoted $200 just to replace 2 gallons of coolant. Honda must've designed this to be a pain in the neck in order to drive people to the dealerships.

SuperTech brand 50/50 Extended life claims to be compatible with all coolants, aluminum engines, 5 year or 150k mile interval, etc. I used it on the wife's 3rd gen Honda Pilot Elite AWD with ZF 9-speed tranny. My guess is it's Peak or Prestone brand under Wal-Mart's label. 🤷🏽‍♂️ While we're on...

I'm not sure. I just wait until the notice from the MM or number of months passing since miles are spread between our three cars. Last oil change was 11 months ago.

I don't know what formula the MM uses to calculate oil life, but I normally change the oil and filter when it gives the notice at 15% remaining. I changed it at 30% because it's been 12 months and I have a cross country trip coming up.

We went with General Tire's Grabber HTS 60 for the 2017 Honda Pilot Elite. The 20" size is Made In Germany. Other sizes are Made In USA. They've been great so far in the past two weeks of rain, very light snow, and pavement of SE Virginia. They replaced the factory Continental tires. I found out...

2009 Honda CR-V AWD with 169,173 miles. I used O'Reilly brand conventional 5W-20 with MicroGard 57356 filter (Made In USA version). I was at 30% after a year of short distance highway commuting.

I use O'Reilly brand oil filters. I get the ones that are Made In USA instead of the CCP. I change the filter and oil together annually. Maintenance Minder was at 30% because my short commute is mostly highway. Honda CR-V has 169,173 miles now.

I buy refurbished computers. More bang for the buck and it isn't sitting in a cargo ship off California. Tons of shops out there that specialize in fixer uppers.

Got a new set of Dunlops. The old set were worn to the treadwear marks. I've never seen cracks on the sidewall before. Chalk that up as another BITOG moment.

That is the right way. Old tire and old weights come off. New tire comes on and new weights added while balancing.

Broken link. I'll switch to O'Reilly brand ATF if they update their compatibility to include Honda Type 3.1 fluid. VML is working great so far with 4k miles after this 1x drain and fill.

I love coming to BITOG because I find out that I'm not the only one who does the suck and re-fill method for Power Steering reservoirs. This is how I get rid of leftover Dex VI like MaxLife ATF.

You are right about that.

Valvoline CVT is yellow. Nissan OEM CVT fluid was green.

I searched through Valvoline's website because I wanted one brand for several cars. MaxLife Synthetic ATF is compatible with Honda AT's according to their Product Information sheet.

Follow up post on the 2017 Honda Pilot Elite with ZF 9-Speed transmission. No problems with 1x drain and fill with Valvoline MaxLife Synthetic ATF, 3.75 qts came out at the 55,000 miles. We did another 1x drain and fill, 3.9 qts came out at 59,000 miles. We took the easy route and poured a 1...
