2019 Honda Pilot Oil Filter

The manufacturer's published schedule for this model year calls for oil filter replacement every 20,000 miles. The filter collects debris from the oil, and a loaded filter can open its bypass valve so unfiltered oil circulates. Service history and an inspection can help determine what the vehicle needs at a particular visit.

• Schedule oil and filter work together.
• Replace the filter at the published interval.
• Check for leaks after the engine runs.

The filter is replaced alongside the engine oil so debris is not left in a loaded filter. The technician checks the filter seal after running the engine. The service also gives the technician an opportunity to identify conditions that may warrant further inspection.

• Filter matched to the 3.5-liter V6 engine.
• New drain plug gasket or washer when the engine uses one.
• Leak check at the filter seal after operation.

A loaded filter does not stop the engine getting oil; it stops the engine getting filtered oil. Drivers may first notice an oil-pressure warning, an engine that sounds noisier than usual, or oil that darkens quickly after a change. An inspection and service history help determine the appropriate next step.

• Debris remains captured in the loaded filter.
• The bypass valve may open.
• Unfiltered oil may circulate through the engine.

The correct filter supports the engine's lubrication system and its debris-capturing function. No part number or filter specification is needed to arrange the service; the technician matches the filter to the engine actually fitted. The filter is then checked for leaks after the engine has run.

• Engine layout: V6.
• Displacement: 3.5 liters, or 3,471 cc.
• Fuel type: regular unleaded.

The filter holds debris carried by the oil, and its bypass valve opens once the filter loads. For that reason, the manufacturer's maintenance schedule includes filter replacement, and the oil and filter are serviced together here. The vehicle's service history and an inspection can determine what work is appropriate at a specific visit.

• Oil carries debris away from engine components.
• The filter holds that debris.
• A fresh filter supports the next maintenance period.
