I own a 2015 Honda Pilot and need advice on the best oil type to use. What oil specifications and brands do you recommend for maintaining optimal engine performance and longevity? Are there any considerations specific to the 2015 model year that I should be aware of?
For great engine performance, you should consider 0W-20 synthetic oil. It is thin and more fluid hence lubrication should allow the engine parts to move more freely. Better for longevity and less fuel consumption
The recommended type of oil for 2015 Honda Pilot is the STP Standard Full Synthetic Motor Oil, 1 Quart, 0W-20. Make sure to use oil that meets the API (American Petroleum Institute) certification and has the “Starburst” symbol on the container. Always check your owner’s manual or consult with a professional mechanic to ensure you are using the correct oil for your vehicle.
SAE 0W-20 is recommended for most conditions. It offers good fuel economy and performance across a wide range of temperatures.
Look for oils that meet the ILSAC GF-5 specification. This further ensures fuel efficiency and compatibility with emissions control systems.
