Part Description
This used A/C air compressor was removed from a 2011 Honda Pilot and has been professionally inspected for quality and functionality. The compressor is currently on our shelf and ready to ship immediately. As an OEM Honda part, it maintains the original factory specifications and mounting points for a direct replacement installation.
The A/C compressor is the heart of your vehicle’s air conditioning system, pressurizing refrigerant to create cool air for the cabin. Common reasons for replacement include clutch failure, internal seal leaks, bearing noise, or compressor seizure due to system contamination. When your Honda Pilot’s A/C stops blowing cold air or makes grinding noises, the compressor is often the culprit requiring replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this 2011 Honda Pilot A/C compressor fit my 2010 Pilot?
Yes, this compressor uses interchange 50165C which fits 2009-2011 Honda Pilot models. The mounting points, electrical connections, and refrigerant fittings are identical across these model years.
Do I need to replace other A/C components when installing this compressor?
It’s recommended to replace the receiver/drier and expansion valve when installing a used compressor. You should also flush the A/C system to remove any contaminants that may have caused the original compressor failure.
What causes Honda Pilot A/C compressors to fail?
Common failure causes include refrigerant leaks leading to low system pressure, contamination from other failed components, clutch wear from normal use, and internal seal deterioration over time. Regular A/C service helps prevent premature compressor failure.
How much refrigerant oil should I add with this compressor?
The exact amount varies by system capacity, but typically 3-4 ounces of PAG oil is required. Check your Honda service manual for the specific oil type and quantity, as using the wrong oil can damage the compressor.
Can I install this A/C compressor myself?
While mechanically possible, A/C work requires specialized tools for refrigerant recovery, vacuum pumps, and leak detection. Most states require EPA certification to handle refrigerants, so professional installation is recommended.
What’s included with this Honda Pilot A/C compressor?
This listing includes the complete compressor assembly with clutch and pulley. The receiver/drier, expansion valve, and refrigerant are sold separately and should be replaced during installation for optimal performance.
