bigfather: Is there anything one can do to reduce the fuel Consumption? |
Re: Why Are People Selling Off Their Pilots? by Peterlove11: 8:00am On Jul 19, 2021 |
TOPAI7: Scan the car.....is their check engine light. Is the car running in closed loop operation. Is the thermostat available and working properly. Are you using the right engine oil, 5w20/5w30. Heavier oil will make the engine work harder, hence consume more fuel. Short trip within city will yield reduced mpg compared to longer highway trip due to the engine required time to get to operating temperature Are you using radiator coolant. First thing scan the car....am sure if your pilot is consuming unreasonable fuel, it will pop up codes |

Peterlove11: WHAT IS YOUR AVERAGE MILES PER LITRE USAGE? |
Re: Why Are People Selling Off Their Pilots? by Peterlove11: 8:44pm On Jul 19, 2021 |
TOPAI7: 3miles per liter in the city. Mostly short trips of less than 5miles to and fro work. Mileage will definitely be better in long distance/highway travel |

Peterlove11: As at the last check i got 1.7miles per litre for intra-city movement, July 2021; and i got an average of 5 miles per litre for inter-city (Lagos to Ibadan), Oct 2020. The difference between intra-city and inter-city consumption is much when compared to my previously owned Toyota products, though i have really enjoyed driving my Honda Pilot. |

TOPAI7: 5miles/litre on the highway......that's good. Am yet to try interstate. I remembered my pilot was doing 2miles/litre until the thermostat was fixed, I changed to total 5w30, then stat using radiator coolant instead of water. It jumped immediately to 3miles/litre that same month. I also noticed that if I take longer miles within the town at a stretch, the fuel consumption reduces overtime. 1.7miles/litre within city is low,I guess heavy traffic, frequent short trips might be a contributory factor. Scan your pilot. The code might pop up. Mine showed on scan that my thermostat wasn't in place. And it was fixed |
Re: Why Are People Selling Off Their Pilots? by TOPAI7(m): 1:36pm On Jul 20, 2021 |
Thanks for your prompt responses. Which radiator coolant did you use? Yes, I think i need to scan. How much do they scan? Peterlove11: |
Re: Why Are People Selling Off Their Pilots? by Peterlove11: 5:06pm On Jul 21, 2021 |
TOPAI7:Holt coolant. Am using a scanner bought on jumia. You can do same |
Re: Why Are People Selling Off Their Pilots? by TOPAI7(m): 7:33pm On Jul 21, 2021 |
Peterlove11: Thanks for your response. I saw this scanner on jumia, do you think it will be efficient? Better still, please can i have the picture or link of the scanner that is working for you? Thanks.
