Quick answer: the 2018–2023 Honda Odyssey 3.5L V6 takes 5.7 US qt (5.4 L) of oil with a filter change. Honda specifies 0W-20.
| Engine | Oil capacity (with filter) | Without filter | Oil type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.5L V6 (3,471 cm³) | 5.7 US qt (5.4 L) | 5.4 US qt (5.1 L) | 0W-20 |
Watch out: the 2011–2017 Odyssey took 4.5 quarts. The 2018 redesign takes 5.7 quarts, so a single 5-quart jug is not enough.

We read the Specifications pages of all six owner’s manuals. Every 2018–2023 Odyssey has the same 3.5-liter V6 (212 cu-in), and the capacity and oil grade did not change. Honda had not published the 2024 manual on its server when we checked.
Recommended oil type
Every manual lists Genuine Honda Motor Oil 0W-20 or an API premium-grade 0W-20 detergent oil. Any brand with the API Certification Seal and the 0W-20 grade meets Honda’s requirement.
