My wife has a 2003 Pilot that she's had a little over a year with no
problems. One recall for a recalibrated SRS control unit. It just turned
15,000, I follow the 'traditional' Honda maintenance format in all our
Hondas. The service manual recommendations may get the CoO (cost of
ownership) down for the Consumer Reports types but it looks negligent to me.

Oil & Filter with tire rotation each 3,750
Lube locks, hinges, window rubbers each 7,500
Trans fluid change every 15,000
Diff (VTM-4) fluid change every 30,000 (after the initial 7,500 mile
break-in change)
Air Filter and Brake Fluid change every 30,000.
Plugs at 60,000 for platinum NGK's. 105K is just too long IMHO.
T-belt at 90,000.
