Capacity by Engine Option

For the 2024 model year, the Honda Odyssey comes with a single engine option, making it easy to know what you need.

Oil Change Interval

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Odyssey's engine, it's critical to follow the recommended oil change intervals. Your vehicle is equipped with the Honda Maintenance Minder system, which will display a message on the dashboard when it's time for service. The system intelligently calculates the interval based on your driving habits.

• Normal Duty: The Maintenance Minder will typically recommend an oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles (12,000 to 16,000 km) or annually, whichever comes first. This applies to most drivers who have a mix of city and highway driving and do not frequently encounter extreme conditions.
• Severe Duty: If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic, make many short trips (under 5 miles), drive in extremely hot (over 90°F) or cold (below 10°F) weather, or tow a trailer, your driving falls under the severe duty category. In this case, the Maintenance Minder will shorten the interval, likely suggesting an oil change every 3,500 to 5,000 miles (5,600 to 8,000 km).

Drain Plug Torque

Properly tightening the oil drain plug is crucial to prevent leaks. An over-tightened plug can damage the oil pan threads, leading to a costly repair.

• Drain Plug Torque: 30 lb-ft (40 N·m)
• Crush Washer: Always use a new 14mm drain plug washer (crush washer), part number 94109-14000, with every oil change. This ensures a proper seal and prevents leaks.

How to Change the Oil

Changing the oil on your 2024 Odyssey is a straightforward process that can be done at home with the right tools.

1. Warm Up: Run the engine for a few minutes to warm the oil, which helps it drain more easily.
2. Lift & Secure: Safely lift the front of the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
3. Drain Oil: Place a drain pan under the oil pan, remove the drain plug, and let the old oil drain completely.
4. Replace Filter: Locate and remove the oil filter. Apply a thin layer of new oil to the gasket of the new filter before screwing it on. Tighten by hand until it's snug, then give it another quarter to half turn.
5. Replace Plug: Once the oil has drained, wipe the drain plug opening clean, and install the drain plug with a new crush washer. Torque it to 30 lb-ft.
6. Refill Oil: Lower the vehicle. Open the oil fill cap on the engine and add 5.7 quarts of 0W-20 synthetic oil.
7. Check Level: Start the engine and let it run for a minute. Shut it off, wait a few minutes for the oil to settle, then check the dipstick to ensure the oil level is at the "Full" mark.
8. Reset Light: Reset the Maintenance Minder system through the vehicle's infotainment display.

Common Issues / Tips

• VCM (Variable Cylinder Management): This generation of Honda's 3.5L V6 engine has a refined VCM system. While much improved, some owners in previous generations reported issues with oil consumption or fouled spark plugs related to VCM. Using the correct high-quality 0W-20 synthetic oil and adhering to the Maintenance Minder schedule is the best way to mitigate any potential long-term issues.
• Oil Level Sensor: The 2024 Odyssey does not have a low oil level light, but it does have a low oil pressure light. Do not wait for this light to come on, as it indicates a critical lack of pressure that can cause immediate engine damage. Check your oil level via the dipstick regularly.
• Access: The oil filter and drain plug are easily accessible from underneath the vehicle, often without needing to remove any plastic under-trays, making the job cleaner and faster.
