2018 Honda Odyssey oil pump — purpose, care and replacement

Yes, the 2018 Honda Odyssey is fitted with an engine oil pump. Technical sources such as the 2018 Odyssey Factory Service Manual (Engine Lubrication section) and Honda’s electronic parts catalogue for the J35Y-series 3.5‑litre V6 list a chain-driven, internal trochoid/gerotor oil pump assembly with a pressure relief valve. Those references confirm the oil pump is very much relevant to this model and an essential part of its lubrication system.

On this Odyssey, the oil pump’s job is to circulate engine oil under pressure to bearings, camshafts, timing components and the i-VTEC/VTC systems, keeping friction down and heat under control. At idle and on the motorway alike, it maintains stable oil pressure so the V6 runs smoothly and efficiently. The design prioritises quick pick-up on cold starts and steady flow at higher revs, helping the Odyssey deliver quiet operation and long engine life.
