I'm about to work on a 2009 Honda Odyssey EX-L (over 200,000 miles) I just acquired that's due for a good tune-up and I've been doing extensive research!
Let me know if you've ever used these or if anything else works better:
OIL
1. Pre-Clean* Oil System with BG EPR
2. Change Oil with Castrol Edge High Mileage 5W20 (or 5W30?)
3. Add BG MOA to Oil
TRANSMISSION
1. Pre-Clean* Transmission with SeaFoam Trans Tune
2. Change Transmission Fluid with Valvoline MaxLife Dex VI
3. Add LubeGard RED ATF Protectant to Transmission Fluid
[NOTE: Yes, the fluid has already been regularly changed so changing it now won't ruin the transmission.]
POWER STEERING
1. Change Power Steering Fluid with Royal Purple MAX EZ
2. Add Lubegard PSF Universal Protectant to PSF
BRAKES
1. Change Brake Fluid with Motul DOT 5.1
2. Add Phoenix BrakeShot Crash Avoidance Treatment to Brake Fluid
[NOTE: BrakeShot has been around since 2014, but it seems as if it's dead now. You can still buy it so lmk...]
FUEL SYSTEM
1. Add Techron High Milage to Gas Tank
* "Pre-Clean" as in revving the engine for about 20 minutes to circulate the cleaners in the old fluids before changing them out with new fluids. As EPR says on their instructions
[Here is my other thread where I talk about mechanical work]
