The Honda Odyssey’s oil capacity depends on the year and the engine, but most modern Odysseys with the 3.5-liter V6 require about 5.7 quarts of oil when you replace the filter, and roughly 5.3 quarts if you do not replace the filter. Always confirm the exact figure in your owner's manual or on the under-hood sticker for your specific model year.
Current-generation Odyssey (2018–present)
Capacity figures
For owners of the latest generation, the standard capacity figures are commonly cited as follows depending on whether the oil filter is changed during an oil change.
- With oil filter installed: 5.7 quarts
- Without oil filter installed: 5.3 quarts
When in doubt, always top up to the dipstick’s full mark after an oil change and recheck after running the engine. The recommended oil type for many Odysseys is 0W-20 or 5W-20, depending on climate and model year, so consult the manual for the exact specification.
Earlier generations (pre-2018)
Capacity figures
Older Odysseys powered by the common 3.5L V6 generally follow the same baseline figure, but there can be slight variations by year and trim. The standard reference remains around 5.7 quarts with the filter and about 5.3 quarts without, though you should verify against your specific model year in the manual or service sticker.
- With oil filter installed: 5.7 quarts
- Without oil filter installed: 5.3 quarts
Always double-check the exact specification for your vehicle’s year and engine configuration, since Honda periodically updates service data and recommended oil specifications.
Summary
In practice, the typical oil capacity for most Honda Odysseys with the 3.5L V6 is about 5.7 quarts when replacing the filter and around 5.3 quarts if you don’t replace the filter. Always verify with your specific model year’s manual or under-hood label and use the recommended oil grade for your climate.
