When you see a B16 maintenance code on your Honda Pilot, it indicates that your vehicle requires an oil and filter change, tire rotation, and replacement of the rear differential fluid. The Honda Pilot uses around 4.3 liters (4.54 quarts) of SAE 0W-20 synthetic engine oil, typically needing replacement every 7,500 miles based on general guidelines, but this may vary depending on your individual driving habits. For tire rotation on this model, you simply need to switch the front and rear tires on the same side, meaning the left front tire moves to the left rear, and the left rear tire moves to the front left. The cost of having the rear differential fluid replaced at a dealership usually falls between $70 and $100, with labor costs typically ranging from $40 to $50.
The code "b16" on a Honda Pilot indicates that it's time for an oil and filter change, tire rotation, and replacement of the differential fluid.
