Changing The Engine Oil And Filter - Honda Odyssey Owner's Manual

Changing the Engine Oil and Filter

Always change the oil and filter
according to the maintenance
messages shown on the odometer/
trip meter display or on the multi-
information display. The oil and filter
collect contaminants that can dam-
age 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
technician.
