I had a 2000 Oddysey and had the dealer change the oil & filter every 5000 miles. The engine was doing fine at 190K mi when the vehicle was totalled.
I now have a 2011 Odyssey, and the same dealer claims that it and one or two other Honda / Accord vehicles require a newer or special oil. Fine, except this increases the cost of an oil change by $25.
I can't find anything on the internet (or here) regarding a change in the needs of these vehicles. Any knowledge or opinions on what's going on? I don't think this dealer would actually lie to me.
Thanks.
