Thank you for that video! It's going to help me a lot! My van has 380K miles on a 2006 EX-L non touring and it's time to change and reseal my oil pan. The hardest thing I had to do on my own was change all the engine mounts and transmission mount.
It’s honestly real easy….its just having to drop the exhaust pipe that can be a pain…..just a tip …before you do it ….spray the 6 exhaust nuts down with some rust penetrant (I prefer PB Blaster)…..and break the nuts loose by hand …..with a 6 point socket….they are known to strip easily….take from experience my friend
One of the main reasons (stripped drain plug) is one of the main reasons that I have done all of the oil changes on my Odyssey since new, except the time I paid the Honda dealer to put in a rebuilt transmission. That time, I got the van back and the oil was a black as tar-they put some other vehicle's used oil in it. I know it wasn't my old oil they saved back to reinstall because I always changed at 3K miles and my oil was never that black.
Make sure you go around the bolts completely with rtv or you will have minute leaks there. Also, wait the allotted dry time for your rtv so as to not get excess goop inside your engine.
Great video Yeah exhaust bolts didn’t come off easy, had to get bolt extractor on half of them Now I’m trying to get the pan off, I just watched and saw your technique, hopefully that will help
The exhaust bolts is whats keeping me from changing my oil pan. Thinking of just biting the bullet and buying a time sert kit, but the frickin thing cost more than a new oil pan 😅. Still might beat having to mess around with rusty exhaust pipe bolts.
Mine isn’t actually leaking but the previous owner striped the drain bolt and made some experiment tapping a regular pipe cap 😂😂 im into some shit here but I want my car to be good when it comes to things like this
Hand tight. Then a 1/4 turn. The actual number is like 9 ft-lbs but that basically hand tight. 1/4 turn for security and make sure you don’t crimp the gasket
People are on here blaming Honda for using a steel bolt in an aluminum pan, when Honda clearly specs 29 ft-lbs torque on the drain bolt which I have adhered to for all 25 years I've had my Odysseys and I have NEVER stripped the pan threads. Grease monkeys that don't deserve to be called 'mechanics" that act like a torque wrench is radioactive and wouldn't touch one with a ten foot pole is another big reason I do all of my own car repairs other than replacing a transmission and mounting new tires. And them over torquing, cross threading, and stripping lug nuts is one of the most frustrating things I have to put with too.
Why replace the pan when you could just go up a bolt size and tap new threads? A lot less work. I did this on my '03 Ody in 2019 after a shop quoted me almost $1000 to replace the pan. Hasn't leaked a drop of oil since. I think i got the tap and the bolt on Amazon for less than $20.
the concern with retapping and using a larger bolt is that some of the metal shavings could end up in the engine compartment. you may have gotten lucky this time, and also the pan is aluminum so if the tap set catches, there is a chance it could crack the body of the pan.
That doesn't sound like a good idea at all... The gasket maker seeps out eventually and hardens to the point where it cracks. Tapping the holes bigger and tightening bigger bolts isn't going to fix a leak that's coming from a different part of the pan other than the bolts. If you do get lucky and don't get metal shavings inside your engine, and you do have a leak coming near your bolts, then this might be a cheap fix if you don't have the money to buy a new oil pan BUT GOOD LUCK
@@markarmstrong3394 I wasn't concerned about the metal shavings, the oil goes from pan to filter to engine. If your filter can't catch something that large you need a better oil filter. It's been two years and 8 oil changes since then.
@@DJRussellBrian I don't think you understand, maybe you have never done your own vehicle maintenance before, or maybe you didn't pay attention to the video. I'm not taking about tapping new threads for the bolts that connect the oil pan to the engine, though I have had to do that before because it is a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new engine block. I was talking about the drain bolt. On these cheaply made Hondas they use a hardened steel bolt to plug the drain on an all aluminum pan. These drains having their threads stripped out from over tightening is such an issue that a lot of after market parts makers put a steel threaded insert in the drain hole. Rather than replace my original drain pan when a shop stripped it out, I went up a bolt size and tapped new threads in the drain hole. I wouldn't tap new threads for the attachment bolts, unless it was just one or two, and only in a pinch, as that would reduce the binding surface area for the gasket and increase the chances of the gasket failing.

Awesome my friend….if you need anything else just ask 👍
Loved the music in this video and it was very informative. Thanks !!
I got to do this job next saturday first time doing it, wish me luck lol
I’ve only done basic work like spark plugs , oil change etc

Very informative video I enjoyed watching it. I Was wondering what the torque specs on the pan are?
Great video

Is there an actual premade gasket or do you have to use this sealant
Yes but I’d use that “HONDAbond” sealant. The dealership most likely has it. But they may sell it online
Good useful video (and thanks for indicating where to bypass that LONG intro which adds nothing).
When I called to price a replacement they said it was one of two types. Is the install the same for both styles?
Need to find that gasket maker you used where can i find it?
Well usually this gasket maker called “Honda bond” is only at the dealer. But here’s where I got mine from….amzn.to/3tN8xK0
Is there supposed to be a gasket? Or just the sealant?
Just a the sealant…that HONDA-BOND is the best I promise you that
Great video Brother thanks for sharing.
Perfect time to replace bank 1
senor 2
what is appropriate cost for replacing Bottom Oil gasket?
That actually looks quite simple
Honestly it really is my friend
What's the torque specs for oil pan 10mm bolts?
Hand tight. Then a 1/4 turn. The actual number is like 9 ft-lbs but that basically hand tight. 1/4 turn for security and make sure you don’t crimp the gasket
Thanks, that was very helpful.
Start to finish how long did it take and did u run into any hiccups...tks
It only took a couple of hours….no issues I promise you
really nice! thanks a lot!
Joe Cox awe ty so much. Thanks for viewing it...
Thought you said oil pan plug was stripped
How long did it take you to get 1ksubs
Royal Beats11 honestly about a year
Great video mate
Too cool
Thanks 👍

That’s so bad that someone stripped out the drain plug....so ridiculous
Super easy to do when you have a steel bolt going into an aluminum pan. Especially when most shops use a pneumatic impact driver on them to save time.
@@iwontliveinfear yea no don’t do that using a impact🤦🏽♂️😂
@@BayAreaMike99 I have never done that, but I have had many a quick oil change shop have to buy me a new drain pan.
excellent video but pretty sure that car takes 0w20 not 5w20 :0)
It takes 5w20
take look at the engine oil cap
@@Jacob_Studer 0w20 i have 2 hondas
@@RichRich007 Mr 2 Hondas, cap clearly says 5w20. Just because you have two Hondas doesn’t make you an expert on Hondas.
It’s definitely 5w-20 😂😂 I have an 08 odyssey sitting in my driveway.
