Question 60,000 mile maintenance

New member w/ a 2006 Pilot bought used. Does anyone know what the maintenance minder will be at 60,000 miles on a 2006 Pilot? I need to have that maintenance completed before I leave for a road trip and the owners manual doesn't specify maintenance by mileage, only by maintenance minder numbers. I'm thinking tranny fluid, coolant, air filter & oil/filter.

Negative on the coolant, it should last 105K miles on the OEM coolant. I would drain and refill the tranny fluid, cabin filter, oil and filter and maybe the rear diff fluid, that is if you have a rear diff.

Just a reminder, if you do have the 4wd option and decide to change your fluid, be sure to use Honda's VTM-4 fluid and not DPF2 or any other brand.

Do you know the history of your car?
If not then I would do a full circle

Oil change w/ filter
tranny fluid
differential fluid
vtm-4 fluid
air filter
cabin filter

and check brake/coolant/Power steering fluids for level.


edit: And the most important one, washer fluid.

All points above are excellent. I would recommend the full tranny 3 change process. You don't know how the other guy drove it.

Then add an external tranny filter and cooler and you are ahead of the game.

Have a great trip.
