Additives; Changing The Oil And Filter - Honda 2003 Odyssey Owner's Manual

Main Menu Table of Contents

Additives

Your Honda does not require any oil
additives. Additives may adversely
affect your engine's or transmission's
performance and durability.

Changing the Oil and Filter

Always change the oil and filter
according to the time and distance
(miles/kilometers) recommenda-
tions in the maintenance schedule.
The oil and filter collect contami-
nants that can damage your engine if
they are not removed regularly.
Changing the oil and filter requires
special tools and access from
underneath the vehicle. The vehicle
should be raised on a service station-
type hydraulic lift for this service.
Unless you have the knowledge and
proper equipment, you should have
this maintenance done by a skilled
mechanic.
1. Run the engine until it reaches
normal operating temperature,
then shut it off.
