Honda maintenance

[Mike]

Hello,
Eric

I own a 2010 Honda Pilot . As far as maintenance goes is there certain fluids/parts that need to be oem. For example I remember you saying when changing honda transmission fluid its important to get oem honda fluid. Now does that apply to other parts/fluids like differential gear fluid, coolant, etc.

Thank you
Mike

When it comes to Honda, stick with dealer fluids for the automatic transmission, power steering and differential. Engine oil and coolant is run of the mill. I’m sure some Honda geeks would disagree with me but I’ve never seen a long-term difference in oil or coolant quality.

Thank you for clearing that up.
