2016 - 2023 Honda Pilot Rear Differential Fluid Replacement (With Bleeding Procedure)

In order to achieve the right fluid level and capacity, it is important to air bleed the oil pump in the differential when changing the fluid on Honda's using the iVTM4 AWD system. This applies to 2016 and up Honda Pilots.

I changed my rear differential fluid today on my 2023 Honda Pilot and this guide was spot on, thank you!

Wow, great job and descriptions. I appreciate the details, gloves for cleanliness and products, well done.

Good video Sir. It is the first one that took you to the infotainment system to reset the parameters 👍🇺🇸

Your videos are fantastic. I’d love to see you do the Pilot transfer case and transmission fluid.

Where can I get a Honda maintenance book from. So I can see what intervals of mileage that different fluids need to be changed and filters. Really good video. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much for your detailed video explanation demonstration. My car is a 2022 HONDA CRV-Hybrid. I followed your video to change the transmission oil for the first time. Only question, why is the old oil I put out colorless and the one you recommended is pink. Could it be that the wrong oil type was replaced?

Hi great video. i called Honda and they said there is transfer case oil and rear differential oil. can explain or do video on transfer case oil replacement. thanks

This is one of the best Honda maintenance videos I have ever seen. Great job!! Question, the link to the drive click torque wrench has a different looking product than in the video. The on in the video looks more like the Amazon basics one. Just wanting to confirm that. Another quesiton, does the car have to be raised to do this work?

Hell yeah ty you are gonna save me allot of money

I was just at my local Honda dealer a few minutes ago, and they told me the torque spec for the drain plug and fill plug for both the rear differential and the transfer case is 31 ft lbs for my 2018 Honda Pilot.

Loosing the bolt, is it clock wise or anti clock wise when loosing it?

[papajo]

How many miles were on your Pilot when this A6 indicator showed up on your maintenance minder? Also, could you also do a video on how to change the gear oil in the transfer cares.

Is it ok if I didn’t do the priming procedure?
I saw that my fluid level was down about two pumps when I drained it anyhow, from factory fill

How often should this be changed? I have a brand new 2022 Honda passport EX-L with only 10291 miles on it. I see that my oil has got 30% left and the B6 code sign.

Dear Owen,

It's been a while now since you posted a video.

Would you please consider testing Ceratec vs Motorkote?

Many 🙏 thanks!

I’ve got a 2021 pilot with 45k miles. The b16 maintenance light came on which according to the internet means it need tire rotation, oil change, and differential fluid change. Does this mean that every time I change the engine oil I’ll also have to change the differential fluid? Thanks and great video👍🏻

[Tdzzz]

Did you need to jack up the vehicle to get to the access points?

[omarcaban]

What if I drain and filled without bleeding procedure, can I go back a week later and top off ?

[rickyvargas]

can i re-use a pump i used for transmisiion fluid?
