Oil Filter Adapter Gasket Replacement 05 Honda Odyssey

In this video I'll share how I replaced my oil filter adapter gasket , aka oil filter housing gasket. on my 05 Honda Odyssey 3.5L Touring. Over the course of the last year my Odyssey has developed several leaks. This was one place that started leaking. The gasket that failed is a rubber inlaid gasket. These type of gasket on Hondas typically failed. When they get old they get hard and are not able to seal. So replacement becomes necessary.

Note: I would suggest disconnecting the negative battery clamp before performing this task as this will prevent accidental start up while the vehicle is taken apart. You will need the code to reset your radio so be sure that is handy before disconnecting it.

Note: Be sure your oil level is full before starting the vehicle up after the repair has been completed. Also, you may have to add some oil after the vehicle has been started.

Before starting the vehicle also make sure the splash shield is out of the way of any rotating parts. If you chose to tuck your splash shield to gain access to the filter housing you will need to be sure of this.

Also: Verify correct part numbers with your parts pro. Do not rely on this video alone for this information. Your vehicle may require a different part number and you must verify at a parts house or at your dealership what the correct part number is for your vehicle. (It may differ from year to year. It may even differ in the same year of production).

At the 7:40 mark I mention a grey shadow on the mating surface where the oil filter housing mates up. This is just some discoloration where the old gasket mated up to it. It is cleaned, however down to the bare metal.
