The typical total cost to replace all six fuel injectors on a 2017 Honda Pilot is about $1,000 to $2,400, depending on whether you choose aftermarket or OEM parts and your local labor rates. If only one injector is faulty, expect roughly $150 to $550 for that injector replacement, including parts and labor.
What drives the price
Costs vary based on injector type, labor time, location, and additional services such as seals and potential fuel-system cleaning. The following factors most strongly influence the final bill.
- Injector price (six units, OEM vs aftermarket)
- Labor time and hourly rate
- Related parts (gaskets, seals, O-rings, fuel rail hardware)
- Optional services (diagnostic checks, fuel-system cleaning, ECU reflash)
Understanding these factors helps explain the price range you’ll see quoted by shops.
Full injector replacement (all six)
The typical scenario for a 2017 Pilot with a 3.5L V6 direct-injection engine is replacing all six injectors. Access can require removing the intake manifold, which affects total time and cost.
- Parts: OEM injectors usually cost about $150-$200 each; aftermarket injectors commonly run about $60-$120 each. For six injectors, parts cost roughly $360-$1,200.
- Labor: With shop rates around $90-$150 per hour and a job time of roughly 4-8 hours, labor could be about $360-$1,200.
- Other charges: Gaskets, O-rings, fuel rail clips, diagnostic checks, and shop supplies can add $20-$150.
In practice, expect about $1,000 to $2,400 total, with OEM parts at the higher end and aftermarket parts at the lower end. Always confirm what is included in a quote, such as diagnostic time and any recommended fuel-system services.
Partial replacement (per injector)
If only one or two injectors are failing, the price will be much lower than a full set, but it still varies by parts choice and labor.
- Parts: $60-$250 per injector (OEM typically $150-$200, aftermarket $60-$120).
- Labor: 0.5-2 hours per injector, depending on access; at $90-$150/hr, about $45-$300 per injector.
- Other charges: O-rings and incidental checks may add $10-$50.
Thus, per-injector replacement commonly runs around $150-$550, though prices can climb with difficult access or preferred parts.
Other considerations
Fuel injectors are part of a broader fuel-system health check. In some cases, clogging or deposits can be addressed with cleaning, potentially reducing the cost vs replacement. Direct-injection engines can present higher replacement costs due to complexity and access. Some shops offer warranties on new injectors and may offer core returns or refurbished options.
Bottom line and tips
For a 2017 Honda Pilot, replacing all six injectors typically costs between about $1,000 and $2,400, depending on parts and labor. If only a single injector is needed, the cost is usually in the $150-$550 range. To avoid surprises, obtain a detailed estimate that itemizes parts, labor, diagnostic fees, and any recommended servicing such as fuel-system cleaning.
Summary
Replacing fuel injectors on a 2017 Honda Pilot can represent a significant expense, especially when replacing all six. Prices vary with OEM versus aftermarket parts, local labor rates, and the engine’s accessibility. A clear, written estimate from a reputable shop will help ensure you’re paying for necessary parts and service while keeping the vehicle’s fuel system reliable for years to come.
