The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

The 2016 Honda Pilot's 3.5L V6 (J35Y6) sits under the hood of every trim, from the LX up through the Elite, and the torque values and diagnostic steps in this manual match that engine.

Engines covered

  • 3.5L V6 — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sport utility

Trims covered

  • Elite
  • EX
  • EX-L
  • LX
  • Touring

Known issues on the 2016 Pilot. Federal records list eight recalls for this model year. Two separate campaigns cover fuel tank leaks - one for tanks that may leak generally and one for tanks built with insufficient welds that can separate - both raising fire risk near an ignition source. A third row seat belt can become trapped between the rear seat and sideliner, leaving occupants improperly restrained. A dashboard fault can keep tire-pressure, ABS or stability-control warning lights from illuminating when a system malfunctions, delaying the driver's warning. A hood latch striker can become damaged and let the hood open while driving, blocking the driver's view. A manufacturing error in the connecting rod bearing can let it wear and seize, damaging the engine and raising the risk of stalling or fire. The in-tank fuel pump can fail outright, causing a stall while driving. And the rear subframe can corrode at the suspension mounting points, leading to rear suspension failure and loss of vehicle control. Owners have filed 1,688 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a fuel tank inspection to a rear suspension or hood latch check, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2016 Pilot.
