Capacity by Engine Option

Oil Change Interval

Honda recommends following the Maintenance Minder system for oil change intervals, which can vary based on driving conditions and habits. Generally:

• Normal Duty: 7,500 - 10,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first.
• Severe Duty: 3,000 - 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first (e.g., frequent short trips, extreme temperatures, towing).

Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual and the Maintenance Minder system for the most accurate and personalized schedule.

Drain Plug Torque

The oil pan drain plug torque specification for the 2022 Honda Accord is 29 lb-ft (39 Nm). It is highly recommended to replace the crush washer with each oil change to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks. The OEM crush washer part number is typically 94109-14000.

How to Change the Oil

1. Gather your tools: new oil, new oil filter, drain pan, wrench for the drain plug, oil filter wrench, funnel, jack, and jack stands.
2. Warm up the engine slightly for better oil flow, then turn it off.
3. Safely lift the front of the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
4. Locate the oil drain plug on the oil pan and place the drain pan underneath.
5. Carefully remove the drain plug, allowing the old oil to drain completely.
6. Once drained, replace the crush washer and reinstall the drain plug, torquing it to 29 lb-ft.
7. Locate the oil filter, place the drain pan underneath, and carefully remove it. Be prepared for some residual oil to spill.
8. Apply a thin layer of new oil to the gasket of the new oil filter.
9. Install the new oil filter and hand-tighten it until snug, then turn an additional 3/4 to 1 full turn (refer to filter instructions).
10. Lower the vehicle.
11. Add the recommended amount and type of new oil through the oil filler cap.
12. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes, checking for any leaks around the drain plug or oil filter.
13. Turn off the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to settle, and then check the oil level with the dipstick. Add more oil if necessary.
14. Reset the Maintenance Minder system.

Common Issues / Tips

• 1.5L Turbo Engine Oil Dilution: Some 2022 Honda Accords with the 1.5L turbocharged engine may be susceptible to oil dilution, where gasoline mixes with the engine oil, degrading its lubricating properties. While less prevalent in later models, it's still wise to monitor your oil level and condition between changes.
• Engine Splash Shield: The 2022 Accord has an engine splash shield that needs to be removed to access the oil drain plug and filter. This typically requires a few fasteners to be removed.
• Maintenance Minder System: Pay close attention to your vehicle's Maintenance Minder system. It will display a code (e.g., A1, B2) indicating when an oil change and other services are due.
• Synthetic Oil Recommended: While not always explicitly required, using a full synthetic 0W-20 oil that meets the API SP "Resource Conserving" standard is highly recommended for optimal engine protection and longevity, especially given the precision engineering of modern Honda engines.
