How often does a 2018 Honda Odyssey need an oil change?
Your Odyssey will tell you when it’s time for an oil change, but it’s still a good idea to have this knowledge in the back of your mind so you can plan and budget ahead of time.
According to the 2018 Honda Odyssey owner’s manual, you should change your oil and filter every 3,000 to 5,000 miles if using conventional oil.
If you choose to upgrade to synthetic oil—which is more expensive—you can extend the life between oil changes. In this case, you’ll be able to drive 7,500 to 10,000 miles between services.
