2013 Honda Odyssey EX

Van 3.5L V6

This is Erin's car. We bought it new in the spring of 2013 to replace her 2008 Honda Accord. The Accord had been great, but just wasn't the right fit anymore for our long-term family plans.

In May of 2024 this was no longer our primary family vehicle - being replaced with our 2024 Pacifica. Sold July 2024.

Maintenance

Note: You'll notice I did some filter changes on "A" maintenance instead of "B". This is because I swapped out the Honda filter on the first maintenance - from there, it's just a matter of doing the correct "every other oil change" that Honda requires.

Honda Maintenance Minder System Codes; A, B; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

DateMileageWork/Cost/Notes
07/29/24196,807Sold.
06/21/24196,726Timing belt, water-pump, timing belt idler pulley, timing belt tensioner/pulley, & new passenger engine mount.
While the majority of this isn't due until 200,000 miles, the engine mount failing means I am getting shaking under acceleration right now. Since the engine mount has to be removed for the timing belt anyways - did it all a little early.
Things bought to do this maintenance:
Total spent: $709.18 - yes, this is a lot, but local dealerships and private mechanics were quoting $1800-2000 for the same work - and I get to keep the cool new tools by doing it this way while still spending less than half of what I would have.

(Note: I likely could've pushed the Goodyears to the limits of their 65K/mi warranty; however, at times over the years I believe either alignment has been slightly off or pressures have been slightly uneven - as the center blocks I would still be comfortable driving on - however the shoulders were definitely smoothed. I presume this is by fault of my own and not Goodyear's manufacturing.)
