The 3.5 L six-cylinder engine in the 2008 Honda Odyssey
requires Advanced Full Synthetic 5W-20 Motor Oil. Ideally, you want to use synthetic oil in your van to improve engine performance and extend the time between oil changes. On top of changing your oil, Honda suggests having your Odyssey serviced every 7,500 miles to ensure proper performance. But the more mileage you put on your van, the more frequently inspections will need to be completed. You’ll also want to do a tire rotation and multipoint inspection when changing your oil.
Here are some other maintenance items that should be inspected once you hit 15,000 miles:
Engine oil filter replacement
Brakes and parking brake adjustments
Steering gear box and boots
Fluid levels and condition
Cooling system hoses and connections
