2007 Honda manual calls for hypoid gear oil, don't use regular synthetic gear oil.
@@speakfreely.1776 we use the Honda genuine vtm-4 fluid in the rear differential and here is a statement from Amsoil Incorporated on their Severe Gear product that we used in the transfer case:
Commonly found in axle differentials, hypoid gears are used to transmit power from the driveline to the axle shafts. They are basically spiral bevel gears, where the pinion engages below the centerline of the ring gear. This lowers the driveshaft away from the bottom of the vehicle. Hypoid gear oil is formulated with extreme-pressure (EP) additives to protect and operate effectively with hypoid gears. AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® Synthetic Gear Lube offers outstanding protection for hypoid gears.
It happened to me too. The drain plug is too tight. I don't have impact wrench, so I end up using a suction to remove the old oil.
Sorry to hear that someone over-tightened your drain bolt. I'm thankful you had another way to service it. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I just bought a 2008 SAME THING HERE prev owners did not service this in God know's how long, I could say never, plug bolt wast so tight, I did end using a 1/2 inch long breaker bar with a 3/8 adapter, oil was black, black, like old engine oil,,,refilled with Honda oem fluid...thank you for your video...is of great help.
I just got a VTM-4 check engine code on my 2006 Honda Pilot. I googled it and came across your video. It was very informative! Thanks for putting it up.
I'm so glad that it helped you. Thanks for the feedback!
I really enjoyed this video it was like talking to you in person.
Thanks bro! Hope it helped.
Note: If you do not have a new Crush Washer, Clean the old one and surfaces with Rubbing alcohol and use lock tight on the washer, both sides and torch down. Works every time. Been doing it for years and years.
Thanks for the tip!
@@MikeTrullAmsoildealer i have the option of getting a 2012 2WD, or 2013 4WD. First 137 k miles, 4WD is at 148k does the 4x4 system hold up. Or lots of issues ?
@@user-km5kj8xh1x We have had zero issues with our 4 x 4 system on our 2007. I believe the 2 wheel drive version gets slightly better gas mileage though
Super helpful video. The problem with Honda products is the maintenance minder and lack of clear service intervals in the manual. Sometimes, the maintenance minder intervals defy common sense (and makes me nervous). We currently have two Pilots and a CR-V. I'll be doing service on the fluids at reasonable intervals and not waiting on maintenance minder.
Praise God. I never imagined this video would be as popular as it is I'm so glad it is helpful to people. Yeah I hear you sometimes you need to do maintenance intervals according to your own research or even whatever gives you peace of mind. Feel free to browse other products Amsoil make for your Hondas at my website number1synthetic.com
For example on the motor oil side there are three different tiers of synthetic oil Signature Series , and XL which are both designed for extended drain intervals and then OE which is designed for factory service intervals but it is still a high quality synthetic oil. You can look up your vehicle by year make model and engine if you want and get a custom list all fluids including capacity.
Great video! I have on 06!
Thanks Mark. I have to say I think I'm becoming a Honda person as the Pilot has been a very good vehicle. Some of my other videos also feature work I've done on the Pilot.
I have an 06 pilot myself! Good thing I didn’t sold it
Overall they seem to be good cars
Nice I'd really like that
How the heck did you get under carriage so clean? Great video info!!
😉
Wow I don't know I guess we were fortunate enough to buy the car that way! No rust down here in Florida and haven't really gone off road. Glad the video was helpful!

Sorry if you can't click the link try copying and pasting. Not sure why it's not working
You used the incorrect oil. The Honda manual calls for hypoid gear oil.
Yes in the transfer case we used Amsoil Severe Gear which is hypoid gear lubricant it is synthetic, extreme pressure, perfect for the sliding contact that occurs between hypoid gears.
We used Honda genuine vtm-4 fluid in the rear differential.
My VTM keep coming up I changed the sensor but yet same trouble, I lost power everytime it happens
Sorry to hear that yeah I'm not sure that sounds like some deeper problem. I would probably try to find a reputable shop that is good at Diagnostics. Thanks for watching! I hope you can get it resolved
I have an 04 and an 07 Pilot. When I bought the 04, it was showing the VTM-4 light bc squirrels had nested in the intake valley and eaten the knock sensor wiring. You can get the wiring and a new sensor (if you want it) from either Honda or Rock Auto as I did.
@@johnjbarnes78 thanks 👍
Hi. Great helpful video. My VTM-4 light and a engine symbol was on. But after changing the oil the vtm light and engine light is still on. Is there a reset needed to turn off lights?
Yes sir on my 07 it was basically going through the display on the dash and holding down the trip odometer reset button for quite a while but it did reset everything. It's near the end of my video. Not sure if you have a different year or possibly even a different trim level. Try an internet search for resetting your maintenance light with your year make and model. Glad the video was helpful! Consider subscribing I have other videos on the pilot as well. And as your UA-cam name says soli Deo Gloria!
Honda pilot 2004 code ckp sensor what is
Crankshaft position sensor ? I'm not sure I understand what you are asking.
number1synthetic.com is my website to order Amsoil products like the Amsoil Easy Pack to make fluid changes easier on tough-to-reach fill holes. 😀

Hi, do you have a howling sound on the back part of the car when you drive?
I’m thinking its the wheel alignment or needs a differential fluid change. What are your thoughts and recommendation?
@@ianzapanta9503 no our Pilot wasn't making any noise, the reason I changed the differential fluid was that it came up as a maintenance code b6 on the dash. From what I have heard though there will be a bizarre grinding or possibly howling sound like you described but generally only when turning corners if it's the differential fluid. If your sound is happening all the time, then yeah I would look to tires, alignment, wheel bearings. I hope this helps
Thanks for the video! Which fluid pump did you buy from Amazon? I don't see it listed.
Sorry let me find it I think it was one by slippery Pete. I'm glad this video has helped so many people I had no idea when I made it it would be this popular.

This must be an updated version with different colored caps for different size bottles
at the front diff, right at 18:00 you removed the drain plug,,do you or anyone know what is the one bolt right next to the drain plug??
I went back and looked at the video no I am not sure what that bolt is for. Anyone else have any ideas?
It's a case bolt holding the two halves together.
Have a link to the crush washer set?

Thanks for watching hope this helps
Thank you. Very informative. I have an 07 ex-l as well. Need to get ready for winter
@@giovannifigueroa6307 Honda seems to make a very good vehicle from my experience. I just acquired an 03 Accord V6 VTEC. Definitely going to be getting some videos up about switching that one over to Amsoil in the engine and transmission. Also going to be replacing pressure switches and the internal cartridge filter on the transmission that Honda tells you to leave alone.... Stay tuned
I bought the 20mm washer at the Honda dealership for $1.30.
Question on the transfer case fluid, you used 75W-90. The manual for my 08 says SAE-90 or 80W-90 which Amsoil does sell. Any reason you used the 75?
Hahaha main reason was at that time I don't think they offered the 80w 90 in the EZ pack. I believe they do now. And I thought the Honda fluid was actually 75w 85 or something weird, but Amsoil confidently recommends the 75w 90 in its place. By all means go ahead and use what your owner's manual is telling you to use. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.
@@MikeTrullAmsoildealer Got it, yeah I'm always paranoid about using exactly what the OM says. But thanks for the vid, otherwise I probably would have overlooked the transfer case haha!
@@glanzera thank you. Glad it was helpful. I actually have the B3 code now which is the automatic transmission fluid so hopefully when time allows I can get to that and post a video I'll be using the Amsoil Signature Series multi-vehicle ATF. Spoiler alert I've actually already flush the entire transmission with that a couple years ago when we first got the vehicle but I hadn't started filming videos back then yet. I show the same basic procedure on a 2017 Odyssey in one of my recent videos though that one uses the newer low viscosity Amsoil Signature Series fluid.
@@MikeTrullAmsoildealer I just did Idemitsu 30040090-95300C020 ATF Type H-Plus Automatic Transmission Fluid-5 Quart. In our Hondas. Amazon. I drained and popped a hose from tranny and did a quick 1 way flush.
@@jamesguralski5156 sounds good. Once people realize the transmission is a big fluid pump you can take a cooler line loose and pump out what's in the transmission. I recommend not letting it run dry of fluid. Thanks for sharing
Hey do u use a car jack while you charging those oils?
I left my pilot on the ground. there was room enough for me to get under there as I recall. If I did raise the vehicle I would use ramps or jack stands, never a jack by itself because of the risk of the vehicle dropping. Also if you raise the vehicle you would need to raise both ends and keep it level for when you go to fill the fluid and check the level. Thanks for watching!
😺
If you saw a cat in the video it was probably Oscar
Aren't you think my Honda Pilot 2008 4 be the same
I have not done a 2008 but I do believe they are the same or very similar
Good video you just talk too much
😄thanks for enduring
Disagree, kept me interested and involved. Realistic 🤷♀️
@@KindnessAndKaos thanks!
@@Couchlover47 just trying to keep up with Scotty Kilmer... He post s multiple videos a day sometimes! LOL
Man i think he was entertaining the public, it will be boring just watching 30 min of video without any description of what's going on 🤣🤣. Saludos y muy buen video ✌️🇳🇮
Talking TOO much!
