Is the Odyssey expensive to maintain?
Honda's published oil-change interval: set by the Maintenance Minder (oil-life monitor); no fixed mileage. Honda Maintenance Program: 1 year / 12,000 miles on 2026 models. For the Odyssey: v6 timing belt: replace and inspect water pump under sub-item 4 (every 60,000 miles in extreme heat or cold). We list the schedule rather than a dollar figure because Honda doesn't publish service prices.
For repair patterns owners report, see Odyssey known issues.
Honda Maintenance Program
Term: 1 year / 12,000 miles on 2026 models (named in Honda's 2026 spec sheets; Honda Service Pass at its 2023 launch: first 2 years or 24,000 miles)
Covers: Service Pass covers select factory-scheduled maintenance as shown by the Maintenance Minder (oil and filter changes, tire rotation, multi-point inspection) at participating Honda dealers. It transfers to later owners while active and is valid in the U.S. only. The 2026 spec sheets name the program but don't describe what it covers.

Oil changes
Normal: Set by the Maintenance Minder (oil-life monitor); no fixed mileage. Change the oil at least every 12 months even if no Minder message appears.
Severe or special conditions: No fixed severe-service oil interval; the Maintenance Minder adjusts to driving conditions.
Code A = oil change; code B = oil and filter plus inspections. 'Maintenance Due Soon' shows at 15% oil life.
