#5112 of 5148 08 Odyssey Oil Change by junghyun85 Jul 12, 2008 (8:02 pm)
I have a quick question about oil change for 08 Odyssey.   From automobile shops such as Firestone and Jiffy Lube, I was often told that regular oil's duration was 3 months / 3000 miles and Synthetic was around 5000-6000 miles.   Can someone clarify on this information? On Odyssey's maintenance schedule, it didn't seem to really clarify how often I should do the oil change. Lot of new car's manual seems to say every 5000 miles. Is this assuming that I do synthetic oil change every time which costs a lot more? Or is it okay to go 5000 miles with regular oil. Replies to this message: bobber1 (Jul 12, 2008 8:56 pm)

My interval has been about 6,000 miles.   The old 3,000 oil change standard is a waste of money in my opinion. My last car I changed every 5,000 miles and put 170,000 on and it still didn't burn any oil.

Replying to: dave594 (Jun 19, 2008 9:11 am) You were exactly right!! When the dealer called me and told me how much it would cost to fix, I let him know that I was aware (as was Honda) that there have been a lot of issues with this same problem for lots of owners and that he should try and get Honda to work with me on this. Later that day, he called back with good news. Honda was picking up the tab for the whole thing!!! We just got back from driving on vacation of some 1,400 miles and I am happy to report that the steering is just fine now!!   Thanks for all of you who suggested that I contact the dealer for some help on this one. By the way, my Odyssey had 54,000 miles on it when I took it in for this problem.   Jim
#5115 of 5148 Clicking Noise by loncray Jul 14, 2008 (10:16 am)
Good afternoon forum! My wife's 2007 Ody has been trouble-free until now (outside of a cut runflat tire). When we start it up, there is a fast-paced clicking sound coming from inside the panel in the right rear of the van. It lasts about 30 seconds and stops, and we haven't noticed anything else different. It happens whether or not we immediately drive off. The Ody is a 2007 Touring model with all the bells and whistles if that makes a difference. Does anyone know what this might be and if there is a fix I don't have to go to the dealer for? Thanks in advance!
#5116 of 5148 Plus One Seat in an LX? by jscottkeller Jul 20, 2008 (4:51 am)
I have an 07 LX and was thinking about the plus one seat, but have read on most sites that it will not work in an LX. Can anyone confirm this. I have see some folks saying you can put it in an LX, but it will not have a seat belt. If that is true, then I would ask why put it in if you have kids?   Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. We're making the drive from NJ to Orlando this fall and were bringing my family and my brother's.   Regards, Jeff
#5117 of 5148 Replacement Tires by jwb18t Jul 21, 2008 (11:11 am)
Wondering what people are buying for replacement tires for their 2007 Ody EX-L's? My local tire guy is suggesting Firestone Destination LE or Bridgestone Turanza's. Also a Kumho Solus KR 21. And...he can get the Michelin Energy LX4(that is what came with mine originally). Thx.

Replying to: jwb18t (Jul 21, 2008 11:11 am) I went with Cooper CS4's. The Goodyear Comfortread would have been my 2nd choice. Yokahoma Avid TRZ's also seem to get good reviews on the Ody. The LX4 is a pretty low-rent tire, as are the Firestone and Bridgestone's you've mentioned. Are you looking for something better than OEM or just cheap? The Coopers are far better than the Michelins and so are the Goodyears from what I've seen. I tossed my OEM Michelins at 20k miles because they were half worn and were so noisy they gave me a headache on concrete roads. The Coopers are much better in every way and with 20k miles on them I really can't tell that they've worn at all.

Replying to: sebring95 (Jul 21, 2008 11:48 am) I am looking for something better than oem. Took a look at the Bridgestones and the Firestones and was not impressed. Thanks for the Cooper , Goodyear Comfortread, and Yokohama suggestions. I run Bridgestone Blizzaks in winter and want a great tire for the rest of the year.

Replying to: jwb18t (Jul 21, 2008 5:28 pm) I have an Ody that we bought in January of 2007, and when our OEM Michelins start going on it, I'll most likely go with the Yokohamas. Several years ago I bought a set of Yoko Avid Touring tires for our Subaru Forester to replace the OEM Bridgestones, and they have been wonderful. Quiet, good wet traction, decent snow traction, they still have lots of wear left on them and they were a bargain to boot! They've made a believer out of me, so now I'm looking forward to replacing the Michelins. They drive OK but sure are loud.
#5121 of 5148 Re: Replacement Tires [sebring95] by asa203 Jul 28, 2008 (1:45 pm)
Replying to: sebring95 (Jul 21, 2008 11:48 am) I bought the Cooper CS4's for my 05 Honda Odyssey about a month ago. The OEM's lasted 35K and probably could have gotten 40K, but since we were heading to the the beach, I made the switch. So far I have put 2800 miles on them and they are quieter. The downside is the gas mileage has decreased by 1-1.5 MPG. At 500 out the door, I thought it was a better deal than the Michelin's Also I got the 80K warranty compared to no tread warranty for the Michelin. No regrets, but would like the better mileage.
