Engine and filter type
Engine specifics
The 2007 Odyssey employs a 3.5-liter V6 engine (Honda J35A). It uses a traditional spin-on oil filter rather than a cartridge-style filter. The filter is serviced during an oil change with standard shop tools.
Because vehicle configurations can vary by market and production date, it’s a good idea to double-check the exact part number using your VIN or the owner’s manual before purchasing.
