Honda Passport Oil Change Interval & Oil Type
Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-06-25
When to change the oil on a 2019-2025 (2nd gen, US) Honda Passport, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | Maintenance Minder oil-life (~7,500 mi / 12 mo typical; severe sooner) |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 3.5L J35 V6, 0W-20 full synthetic, 9-speed auto, i-VTM4 AWD |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Honda Passport note: Like the Pilot/Odyssey/Ridgeline, the J35 V6 uses a TIMING BELT — not a chain — that must be replaced around 105,000 mi/7 yr. It's an interference engine, so a snapped belt wrecks it; this is the one interval you don't skip.
