This. Plus the cryptic maintenance minder, with no mileage-based maintenance criteria, along with the infotainment that stops working in hot weather, despite being replaced by dealership twice, is why I'll not be buying another Honda.
Great Video — I took a look at where the battery was, and knew I needed some additional knowledge about this job — thanks
Why we have to go to too much troubles to replace battery for this car? not buy this car (-:
Hi,
This is a great and very informational video for DIY'ers. Question for you, for newer model Pilot with idle-stop feature, does it require a different type of battery? I used to have a Toyota Highlander and it used a different type of battery due to idle-stop feature of the engine. And that special battery is significantly more expensive than the regular battery. So I wonder if Pilot now also requires a different type of battery, possibly not available at Costco. Can you please let me know?
Thank you!
