Honda Pilot, YF5/YF6 (USA / CAN)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Honda Pilot, YF5/YF6 (USA / CAN) uses automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 3,1 to 3,3 liters. Service intervals include normal use and flexible use via the on board maintenance system. The data covers 4 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Honda Pilot 3.5 V6 2WD transaxle automatic lists two distinct service fill capacities under normal use conditions: 3.1 liters and 3.3 liters, both applying to the 2015-2022 model years.
  • The presence of two separate capacity values for the 2WD configuration suggests a service fill variation, likely corresponding to different transmission generations or internal revision levels within the same production span.
  • The AWD transaxle automatic for the 3.5 V6 also carries the same two capacities, 3.1 liters and 3.3 liters, but under a flexible interval condition governed by the on-board maintenance system rather than a fixed normal schedule.
  • A flexible interval tied to the on-board maintenance system means the transmission fluid change timing is determined by the vehicle's own monitoring logic rather than a predetermined mileage or time threshold, and both AWD capacity values operate within that same condition.
  • The 2WD and AWD variants share identical capacity figures of 3.1 and 3.3 liters for the transaxle automatic, yet the interval condition differs between the two drivetrain configurations across the 2015-2022 range.
