Many people think that it doesn’t matter what kind of oil you put in your car, but this is not true. Using the wrong type can actually damage your engine over time if used frequently. If you are wondering whether or not to use synthetic oil for example, please refer to our blog post on “What Type of Oil Should I Use?”

VISCOSITY GRADE

Honda recommends using the oil “Genuine Honda Motor Oil” or Premium-grade of viscosity SAE 0W-20 detergent oil with an API Certification Seal on the container.

This will provide the best protection for your engine and keep it running smoothly for many miles to come. Be sure to only use this type of oil in your car, as other oils may not be compatible and could cause damage.

You may also use synthetic motor oil if it is labeled with the API Certification Seal and is the specified viscosity grade.

CAPACITY

The oil capacity including filter is 4.5 quarts (4.5 liters), whereas,  without a filter is 4.2 quarts (4.0 liters).

SPECIFICATION OF OIL

Motor oil must meet certain specifications in order to be used in your car. The most important of these is the viscosity, or thickness, of the oil. A lower viscosity means that the oil will flow more easily at colder temperatures, which is why we recommend using synthetic 0W-20 oil. Other specifications that you should look for when choosing motor oil include:

-API Service SJ/SL/SM

-ACEA A01/B02

-ILSAC GF-0, GF-A, GF-B

For a 2016 Honda Odyssey, we recommend using 0W-20 synthetic oil meeting the API Service SJ/SL/SM specification as provides superior protection against wear and tear.

-Castrol

If you have a 2016 Honda Odyssey and are looking to change the oil by yourself, this is the perfect guide for you. In this article, we will show you how to do it step-by-step.

In order to change the oil in your 2016 Honda Odyssey, you will need:

  • an oil filter wrench,
  • a ratchet set with an extension,
  • sockets in sizes: 17mm, 14mm, and 12mm,
  • new motor oil (amount depends on your vehicle),
  • funnel,
  • rags or paper towels.

STEP 1: PREP

Now, park your Odyssey on a level surface and put it in the park. If you are doing the work on your own, set the emergency brake. Loosen the lug nuts on the wheels with the socket wrench before jacking up the car. Raise it until the wheel is off of the ground.

STEP 2: REMOVE THE COVER

The second step is to remove the engine cover. There are two bolts at the front of the cover that needs to be removed. The cover can then be lifted off and set aside.

The next step is to remove the oil filler cap. This can be done by turning it counterclockwise.

The next step is to loosen the drain plug. This can be done with a ratchet set and extension, or a socket wrench.

STEP 3: DRAINING THE OIL

Once it’s loosened, let the old oil drain out into a pan or container. Be sure to have a rag or paper towel handy to clean up any spills.

STEP 4: PUT BACK THE DRAIN PLUG

Once the oil has drained completely, reinstall the drain plug and tighten it using your ratchet set or socket wrench. Make sure that it is tight so that no leaks occur when you start driving again.

STEP 5: REPLACE THE OIL FILTER

Now it’s time to remove the old oil filter. This can be done with an oil filter wrench. Be careful not to damage the filter when removing it, as you will need to reuse it.

Once the old oil filter is removed, install the new one by screwing it on clockwise. If it’s too tight, use a strap wrench to get a good grip.

STEP 6: ADD THE NEW OIL

Now it’s time to add the new motor oil. You will need to check your owner’s manual to see how much oil your vehicle needs. Pour the oil into the engine through the fill hole, being careful not to overfill.

Once you have added all of the required amounts of oil, replace everything in place. Be sure to dispose of your old oil properly at a local recycling center.

And you’re all done!
