Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2015 Odyssey.
The 2015 Honda Odyssey is a minivan equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, requiring 4.5 quarts of 0W-20 viscosity engine oil. EPA fuel economy ratings come in at 19 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. With 199 total owner complaints logged against 6 recalls, the 2015 sits well below the model's peak complaint year of 2002 (972 complaints) but above the all-time low of just 1 complaint recorded in 1994, indicating moderate but not exceptional reliability within the Odyssey's long production run spanning 1990 to 2026.

Prep Measure the diameter of each cylinder head bolt at point A and point B. Point A = 45.00 mm from thread end and point B = 50.00 mm from thread end. If either diameter is less than 11.3 mm (0.445 in), Do not reuse old bolts. Use new bolts coated with clean engine oil. Tighten all bolts to finger tight then continue on with the following procedure.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2015 Odyssey shows a notable improvement over the 2014 model year, with complaints dropping from 307 to 199 and TSBs declining from 158 to 127, while recalls held steady at six. Compared to the surrounding 2011–2016 generation, 2015 records the lowest complaint volume, though its six recalls tie 2013 and 2016 for the generation high. The leading complaint categories — Engine (29), Power Train (24), Unknown Or Other (16), and Structure (16) — do not specify root causes in the federal data. Crash and fire complaints remain low at eight and three respectively. The 2016 model year sees complaints rebound to 263, suggesting 2015 may represent a temporary dip rather than a sustained trend. For a used buyer, 2015 presents a relatively clean federal record within its generation, but the elevated recall count warrants verification that all campaigns were completed.
