I'm finishing up a four week western road trip, and will be getting a Honda dealer OC on my 2017 Odyssey tomorrow in Rapid City SD. As my trip continued and covered 6,600 miles in 26 days, I checked with Honda dealers in Cheyenne WY, Rapid City SD and Sioux Falls SD. All three dealers use a 5w-20 blend as the standard oil change in the new Hondas they service, but 0w-20 is available at an extra charge.
Since the 2017 manual calls for 0w-20, this surprised me. So on a leased vehicle, the Honda warranty department would be hard pressed to deny an oil related claim if its own dealers are putting 5w-20 in the new models. What gives?
