The 2016 Honda Pilot's standard 3.5-liter V6 engine requires around 4.3 liters (4.5 quarts) of 5W-20 oil, though using 0W-20 as an alternative is acceptable if the former is unavailable. Honda suggests changing the oil every 7,500 miles, but depending on your driving habits, more frequent maintenance may be necessary. A warning light in your vehicle alerts you when it’s time for service, yet it's advisable to monitor the oil level regularly to prevent potential engine damage from low or contaminated oil. Any unusual sounds or increased exhaust emissions should prompt an immediate appointment. Oil changes for this model typically cost between $110 and $130, covering both the oil and labor expenses.

    For an oil change with a new filter, you'll need 5.7 quarts of oil, and it's recommended to replace the filter each time. Optimal performance is achieved with 0-20 synthetic oil.

    I added 5 quarts of oil to my 2016 Honda Pilot 3.5 Vtec, including changing the oil filter, and it looks like it filled up completely. I'm not sure why that happened. Any recommendations on what to do next? Should I add the additional 0.7 quarts that Google suggests, or am I at risk of overflowing the oil?
