| 15,000 | Oil & filter change, tire rotation | Engine & cabin air filters inspected. |
| 30,000 | Oil & filter change, tire rotation, engine & cabin air filters | First major service. Brake fluid flush due. |
| 60,000 | Oil & filter change, tire rotation, engine & cabin air filters, transmission fluid service | Spark plugs may be recommended. |
| 100,000 | Oil & filter change, tire rotation, spark plug replacement, timing belt inspection | Major service interval. Coolant flush due. |

Severe-duty schedule
The 2020 Honda Odyssey is equipped with a Maintenance Minder system that will adjust service intervals based on driving habits. However, a general rule of thumb for severe-duty operation is to cut the normal-duty intervals in half. This applies to vehicles that are used for:
- Towing: Increased load on the engine and transmission necessitates more frequent fluid changes.
- Dusty environments: Air filters will need to be replaced more frequently to prevent engine and cabin contamination.
- Short trips: If you frequently drive less than five miles in normal temperatures or less than ten miles in freezing temperatures, your engine may not be reaching its optimal operating temperature. This can lead to condensation and sludge buildup, which can be mitigated with more frequent oil changes.
- Cold climates: Extreme cold can be hard on your vehicle's battery and fluids. It is important to have these systems checked more frequently in these conditions.
Known issues by mileage
- 30,000 miles: Some owners have reported issues with the infotainment system, including lagging and freezing. A software update from Honda can often resolve these issues.
- 60,000 miles: The automatic transmission may exhibit rough shifting. A transmission fluid service can help to alleviate this issue. Some owners have also reported premature wear of the front brake pads.
- 100,000 miles: The timing belt will need to be inspected and likely replaced around this interval. Timing belt failure can cause catastrophic engine damage, so it is important to have this service performed on time. Some owners have also reported issues with the VCM (Variable Cylinder Management) system, which can cause oil consumption and spark plug fouling.
