DIY Honda Pilot Manual - Honda Pilot

Tom9773 · 05-15-2006, 03:34 PM

Hey everyone !! Why is it that I can't find a Haynes or Chilton manual for a Honda Pilot. I'd like to change my transmission fluid but hate to do so without referring to a DIY manual. I've never had a problem obtaining a manual for any other Honda I've owned. So, what's up with the Honda Pilot manual???

Helm publishes and sells the Pilot manual for $75. You might catch a used one on eBay.

I have one and it paid for itself as soon as I opened it!

Is the Helm manual better than the Genuine Honda manual? Anyone have both or seen both and can answer this?

They're both one in the same. I got mine from Helm, www.helminc.com for $75.

Bear in mind it's thicker than a phone book, despite the fact that the paper stock is fairly lightweight. What do you expect when 40 pages worth cover the TPMS alone!

Get the manual for future service, but you don't need it to change the tranny fluid. Do a search here, it's been written up more than once. Easier and quicker than doing an engine oil change. I do a drain and fill every 10Kmis.
