Quick answer: the 2019–2022 Honda Passport 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 |
Buy six quarts, not five. A single 5-quart jug is not enough for a Passport oil change with a new filter.
Oil capacity by year
| Model year | Oil capacity (with filter) | Without filter |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 5.7 US qt (5.4 L) | 5.4 US qt (5.1 L) |
| 2020 | 5.7 US qt (5.4 L) | 5.4 US qt (5.1 L) |
| 2021 | 5.7 US qt (5.4 L) | 5.4 US qt (5.1 L) |
| 2022 | 5.7 US qt (5.4 L) | 5.4 US qt (5.1 L) |
We read the Specifications pages of all four owner’s manuals. The capacity and oil grade did not change. Honda had not published the 2023 and newer manuals on its server when we checked.
Recommended oil type
Every manual lists Honda’s genuine 0W-20 motor oil 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.
