Honda Pilot parts reviews

I had the belt job done on my 2015 a couple of years ago by a local shop using the Aisin kit and it was about $900.

I put on cross climate 2s on my wife’s 2019 Honda pilot all the way back in 2020 when the car had only 25k miles because the stock continentals where garbage. We have now had them on for 5 years and about 50k miles. I haven’t officially measured them but they look brand new. Still not even half way to the wear bars (just by looking at them)

Just put pirelli Scorpio as3+ on my wife's pilot. Day 1 took the kiddo to soccer in freezing rain and 40 mph winds . They handled great, no slipping.

Re the timing belt, if that has not been done I would get to that immediately. At 350K km it is a ticking time bomb. Use, specify, or supply the Aisin TKH-002 timing belt kit. It is OEM quality

I’ve used dozens of the Aisin TKH002 kits- they come with koyo bearings, a decent tensioner, and a Mitsuboshi timing belt, all very similar to the oem Honda parts. I think the only major difference is the Honda water pumps are usually made by Yamada and the aisin ones are made by aisin… I can’t say I’ve ever had failures with them

My wife got almost 60k miles out of her continental cross contact tires on her 2021 Honda pilot. I like Michelin tires but was really impressed with the continentals. I bought the updated version which are the LX25’s. I live in Nebraska and we get all the seasons. Might be worth a look

Having said that - aside from the valve cover gasket - that job requires all gaskets replaced on the air intake side, and I’m not seeing those in the list. Also, for some reason, I had bad luck with Akebono pads on my Honda. Worked well on a Toyota but just about each time my Pilot would develop a shimmy after about 10k kms after pads replacement. I have had a much better luck with Centrix rotors and pads.

as of now it's still got the OEM ones on the rear (and I failed to notice that they'd begun to warp due to already having swapped the front brakes back in August).

The current Bosch 3323 oil filters are now made in Mexico and filter quality has decreased. I don't use the current Mexico made Bosch - I cut one open and it was a bit different than US made older ones.

They gave me a new pilot and I immediately noticed these tires were not as smooth, comfortable or quiet as the CC2s I had been used to so for me I would say yes. These are just poor quality tires.
