Additional Notes

  • The rear differential on the Honda Pilot YG1/YG2 3.5 V6 AWD holds 1.7 liters, and the service fill designation means the capacity reflects a drain-and-refill procedure rather than a complete overhaul of the unit.
  • Under severe use conditions, the rear differential fluid change interval is set at 7,500 miles, which is a relatively short interval reflecting the added stress placed on the fluid during demanding driving situations.
  • A second service condition is listed as flexible, governed by the on-board maintenance system, and the same 1.7-liter service fill capacity applies under that condition as well.
  • The on-board maintenance system condition does not carry a fixed mileage interval in the specifications, as the vehicle's monitoring system determines when a fluid change is due based on operating data rather than a preset distance.
