Honda Oil Change service at Larry H. Miller Honda Murray in Murray, UT Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
11 common questions answered
Is it worth getting a 2016 Honda Pilot oil change at the dealer vs a quick-lube shop?
Yes—dealer oil changes include OEM-spec Honda oil and filter, a multi-point inspection, and documented service records many quick-lube shops don’t provide.

Book an appointment to plan your visit and review any open service offers.
- OEM-spec engine oil and genuine (or OEM-spec) filter installed
- Multi-point inspection and fluid checks included with your visit

What’s the difference between conventional, synthetic blend, and full synthetic for a 2016 Honda Pilot?
Full synthetic offers the strongest heat stability, the best low‑temperature flow, and the longest protection window compared with blends or conventional oil.
These advantages matter for a 2016 Honda Pilot driven along Wasatch Front mountain passes and in winter cold starts. Many late‑model Honda V6 engines are designed for low‑viscosity synthetic oils; check your owner’s manual and oil cap to confirm the exact specification. Our team can match the correct oil to your Pilot’s engine and driving profile.
- Better cold‑start pumpability for Utah winters
- Improved resistance to deposits under heavy loads and heat
- Typically supports longer manufacturer-recommended intervals
Will skipping oil changes void my 2016 Honda Pilot warranty?
Skipping required oil changes can risk warranty denial if maintenance isn’t performed and documented according to Honda’s schedule.
Keep receipts and repair orders that show oil type, mileage, and date so you can demonstrate care of your 2016 Honda Pilot. Warranty work generally requires a certified facility; servicing at Larry H. Miller Honda Murray in Murray helps ensure OEM procedures are followed. If your Maintenance Minder calls for an oil service, don’t delay.

What type of oil does a 2016 Honda Pilot take?
Use engine oil that meets Honda’s OEM specification listed in your owner’s manual for the 3.5L V6 (engine code 6VNAG3.5).
The correct oil must match Honda’s viscosity and performance standards for proper protection and efficiency. Many 2016 models specify a low‑viscosity full synthetic; confirm on your oil cap and manual to be sure. We install oil and filters that meet Honda requirements and can note the specification on your invoice for future reference.
- Verify viscosity and spec on the oil cap and in the owner’s manual
- Request an OEM Honda oil filter for consistent fit and filtration
- Schedule service or check service specials
How often should I change the oil in my 2016 Honda Pilot?
Follow the Honda Maintenance Minder in your instrument cluster for the exact oil‑change interval based on your driving conditions.
Utah driving—cold starts, mountain grades, dust, and towing (the Pilot is rated up to 5,000 lbs when properly equipped)—can shorten intervals. When the Minder reaches the oil service code, schedule promptly to protect your 3.5L V6. If you’re unsure, our advisors can review your mileage and usage and recommend timing.
- Severe duty: frequent short trips, extreme temps, towing, dust
- Check the Minder’s oil life percentage regularly
- Book an appointment and review service specials
