2012 Honda Pilot Oil Capacity

The 2012 Honda Pilot with the J35Z4 engine takes 4.2 qt of oil and uses 0W-20. These figures describe the oil capacity and recommended viscosity listed for this engine. Check the owner’s manual for the oil-change procedure and any guidance about checking the level after filling.

Use the capacity as a reference when servicing the vehicle, then verify the dipstick reading rather than relying on the amount alone. Oil remaining in the engine can affect how much is needed during a change, so add oil carefully and recheck the level. If your Pilot’s engine or equipment differs from the J35Z4 information here, confirm the correct capacity and viscosity on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
