Honda Odyssey, RL5 (USA / CAN)

Coolant capacity & service interval

Honda Odyssey, RL5 (USA / CAN) uses coolant with a capacity range of 7,3 to 10 liters. Service intervals are flexible based on the on board maintenance system. The data covers 2 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

TypeSpecifications
Odyssey 3.5 V6 (2014-2017)
  • Use: Flexible (on board maintenance system)
  • Capacity 7,3 liter
Odyssey 3.5 V6 (2011-2013)
  • Use: Flexible (on board maintenance system)
  • Capacity 10 liter (Overhaul capacity)
  • Capacity 7,3 liter (Service fill)

Additional Notes

  • The 2011-2013 Honda Odyssey RL5 3.5 V6 cooling system carries two distinct capacity figures: 10 liters for an overhaul and 7.3 liters for a service fill. The overhaul capacity reflects a fully drained system, including components such as the engine block, heater core, and all hoses, while the service fill represents the amount needed during a routine coolant exchange without a complete drain.
  • The 7.3-liter service fill capacity on the 2011-2013 3.5 V6 indicates that a standard coolant flush does not evacuate the entire system volume, leaving roughly 2.7 liters of residual fluid within the circuit.
  • For the 2014-2017 3.5 V6, only a single capacity figure of 7.3 liters is listed, which aligns with the service fill value seen in the earlier model years.
  • Both the 2011-2013 and 2014-2017 configurations share the same 7.3-liter service fill figure, indicating consistency in the cooling system's serviceable volume across the full 2011-2017 production span.
  • Service intervals for both configurations are governed by a flexible schedule tied to the on-board maintenance system, meaning coolant service is triggered by the vehicle's monitoring logic rather than a fixed mileage or time interval.
