Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an oil change important for a 2024 Honda Odyssey?

• Maintains engine lubrication: fresh oil reduces friction between moving parts in the 3.5L V6, extending engine life and preserving performance.
• Removes contaminants: oil carries away dirt, combustion byproducts, and microscopic metal particles that can accelerate wear if left to accumulate.
• Promotes fuel efficiency: clean oil helps the engine run smoothly, supporting the Odyssey’s EPA-classified efficiency and keeping city/highway MPG close to rated figures.
• Protects against heat and corrosion: modern synthetic oils help control operating temperatures and prevent internal corrosion, especially important for a regularly driven family minivan.
• Preserves resale value: consistent, documented oil changes demonstrate proactive maintenance and can improve trade-in or resale outcomes at dealerships like Nalley Honda.

How long does an 2024 Honda Odyssey oil change take?

• Typical service time: most dealer-performed oil changes take 30–60 minutes, depending on workload and additional inspections.
• Comprehensive check: Nalley Honda technicians usually include a multi-point inspection, fluid top-offs, and filter replacement, which can add time but improves reliability.
