Yeah, I love Eric O. at South Main. Always watching his videos. Very honest mechanic. Would love to see your Pilot make one of his videos.

alright we got ourselves a Hondoo here. It's the Pilot, it's got the big three five, and the money light is on! 
-vcm muzzler is the old term used before the newer type devices started showing up that "automatically" adjust to maintain a certain temp tricking the ECU to keep ECO off.
89 would only really be needed if you were doing heavy towing with the Pilot.

The way octane works is the higher the octane the higher resistance to detonation. Some engines have high compression and atomized fuel will combust without spark under the right pressure. High performance engines have higher compression and using a lower octane fuel such as 87 can potentially cause the fuel to combust before the spark plug sparks, and again once the spark plug sparks, and now you have 2 detonations and 1 before the other, and this can cause damage to your vehicle.
Our vehicles are not high performance, high compression engines, and so 87 octane is recommended. Anything higher is a waste of money.
Fuel companies took advantage of the fact that we don't know anything, and so they used words like regular, premium, etc... to label the octane rated fuels, and this tricked people into using higher octane fuels. When in reality, most engines are tuned to run on the lower octane fuels.
I personally use non-ethanol fuel that is 89 rated by my local Sinclair (top-tier) fuel station. Just because it is about a block away and I don't trust ethanol fuels. The owners manual says it is rated for up to 10% ethanol, but I would rather not put it through my vehicle unless I have no other choice.
What is more important than octane level is where you get your fuel. Top Tier gas stations are a must if you don't want fuel to cause issues.

The only really honda specific mechanic I can find close to me is the actual honda dealership. I've had so many mechanics try to rip me off, the one downside to being a female is they assume your stupid.
