Post if you have 100k+ miles on your Pilot!

Hi, just found this thread. Been lurking on and off the last few years. I used to check this site out quite often when I first got my 03 Pilot back in the summer of 02.

Anyhoo, I have something like 201K KM on my Pilot, which I think comes out to somewhere around 125K miles.

I can't say that it's been an all happy 125K miles though. I have had some issues with this car, despite having followed the severe maintenance schedule religiously. Even told myself sometimes that I'd never, ever get another Honda.

But I think I just ended up with that one in a few hundred or whatever bad Honda that rolls off the assembly line.

But it's been paid for since a couple of years after I got it and didn't want to trade it in for something else only to finance again. A few hundred dollar repair bill here and there is still alot better than the monthly hundreds of dollar payments

The funny thing is, I still plan on keeping this car forever. Even if I get a new car for myself, I still plan on keeping it. There really is nothing out there in its class that can beat the Pilot for its room and width. Sure comes in handy in those trips to Home Depot.

Finally hit 100K

I told myself I'd get a picture right when it turned, but missed it by 11 miles...

102K runs great. Had an issue early on with the OPD sensor I believe. Dealer changed it at no cost to me. IAC Valve acted up the other day but, now that is fixed. Running on the 2nd set of tires right now with what looks to be at least another 30K of tread (changed out the factory set around 80K). Michelin although I wanted Yokahama.

Do my own fluid changes. Get my filters from a honda dealership out in California. Found a Honda Dealership here in Columbia now that will match most of their internet prices or come in pretty darn close.

Learned how to order other parts from Honda directly and ship them to the dealer and not pay an dealer mark-up.

I do miss Koons Honda in Manassas VA where "shadowfax" (wife named the damn thing) was purchased. The dealership down here has good customer service but, not the great service I used to get up there.

Honda builds great cars. I still have a 93 Civic that if I can get around to replacing the engine seals will still run like a champ.. My mistake in not changing the oil regularly on that one.

2004 Pilot EX 130,000 miles. Runs Great,
Very few problems compared with other vehicles I have owned.
1. Front Motor mount replaced.
2. Broken power steering belt shortly after changing all belts.
3. Slight trans fluid leak / replaced a gasket to remedy
4. Had the flashing D on my drive train while on a short trip to the grocery.
The blinking D went out the next day so i went to have my trans fluid changed and I haven't seen it flash again.... Knock on wood... Knock, Knock, knock.

That's all I can recall....

This sight has really help me recognize and give me DIY solutions.
hondapilot.org is great...
On my to-do maintenance list;
