From the March, 2006 Honda Service News:
NOTE: This article applies to ’06 and later
Odysseys, Pilots, and Ridgelines.
If your service customer does a lot of mountain
driving, trailer towing, or both, the ATF should be
replaced every 30,000 miles. You’ll see this
typical verbiage in the Maintenance Minder
section of the appropriate O/M:
Symbol
1 Rotate tires
2 Replace air cleaner element
If you drive in dusty conditions, replace
every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
Replace dust and pollen filter
If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high
concentrations of soot in the air from industry and
from diesel-powered vehicles, replace every 15,000
miles (24,000 km).
Inspect drive belt
3 Replace transmission fluid
Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle
speeds or trailer towing results in higher
transmission temperatures.
This requires transmission fluid changes more
frequently than recommended by the Maintenance
Minder. If you regulary drive your vehicle under these
conditions, have the transmission fluid changed
every 30,000 miles (48,000 km).
4 Replace spark plugs
If you’ve got a vehicle in your shop for a slipping
A/T and your service customer drives the vehicle
as described here, check if the ATF was replaced
at the recommended interval. If it wasn’t, drain
and refill the ATF and do a test-drive. If the A/T is
still slipping, press on with normal
troubleshooting. If needed, replace the A/T.
