Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Honda Pilot (2015-2022) III generation (YF5/6) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Honda Pilot (2015-2022) III generation (YF5/6) with the robust Kolchuga® skid plate, designed to shield critical components of your vehicle. Available in two durable materials—2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®)—this protection acts as a formidable barrier against impacts from rocks, curbs, and road debris. Think of it as a shield for your oil pan and transmission, ensuring your vehicle remains in optimal condition even in challenging driving conditions.
The main Kolchuga® protection panel is made from high-quality steel with a thickness of 2 mm. Steel protection is available with two coating options, providing different levels of corrosion protection.
| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhiteCover® | Hot-dip galvanizing (compliant with EN ISO 1461). | Reliable and long-lasting coating. Ideal for vehicles with very intensive use (e.g., commercial vehicles). | Up to 24 months |
| ZiPoFlex® | Premium combination: Hot-dip galvanizing + Polymer painting + Polymer lacquer. | The ultimate solution for any, even the most demanding operating conditions (corrosivity category C5). | Up to 36 months |
Aluminum protection (thickness 3 mm)
The protection is made from the exclusive AluOx® aluminum alloy, alloyed with magnesium. The alloy is lightweight, strong, and durable; the addition of magnesium increases specific strength and provides corrosion resistance, especially in marine and chemically aggressive environments. This protection does not require additional protective coating or anodizing (unlike steel ones), as it has natural corrosion resistance.
The skid plate covers essential areas including the engine and gearbox. The construction features reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings that enhance durability and facilitate optimal airflow for thermal management. Additionally, service access openings allow for easy maintenance without the need to remove the entire protection.
This skid plate effectively protects against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and other road hazards. Its robust design not only provides mechanical protection but also reduces the ingress of dirt and moisture, thereby minimizing corrosion. Installation is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without the need for drilling or welding.
How does Kolchuga® protection differ from the factory one? The factory (stock) protection is typically a plastic dust cover (splash guard) or thin composite material. Its main function is protection from dirt and dust. In contrast, Kolchuga® protection is a durable metal plate (steel or aluminum) that serves as a mechanical shield. It provides reliable protection from impacts against rocks, branches, or open manholes. The key difference: Factory protection guards against dirt, while Kolchuga® guards against impact.
