Like we said before, the engine oil is the life-blood of your Honda or Toyota engine. Without clean, adequate flow of oil throughout your engine, a very expensive and damaging event will be occuring very, very soon. Here are some pictures that demonstrate. This is another first-time client... Odyssey that ran out of oil... caused the camshaft to seize and break into two pieces. The camshaft is responsible for opening the engine valves. The upper left image is what the bearing surface is supposed to look like and the upper right is what this one looked like. The bottom picture is clearly showing the camshaft broken off. This engine was replaced. Don't ask the price... a new Odyssey was more expensive.

Oil changes are suggested and performed here every 3 months or 3,750 miles, whichever occurs first.
