Got me a 2005 EX-L about 3 months ago and I'm up to 98k from 95k. I'm 26 and single, and friends laugh because I always said my first car would be a mustang hehe. We got a huge family (common Hispanic family) so we always drove a minivan (Ford Windstar) that is now about 16 years old. Decided to make my first car a minivan instead and everybody laughs until they ride it. It's the most comfortable ride ever! Only issue with it was a check engine light that I fixed mysef by doing a full tune up and replacing the ignition coils (Thanks to the help I got here in the forums). Hope to ride this van until.... forever.

Tell your friends to run out to Home Depot and bring home a load of 2 x 4's in their Mustangs. See who's laughing then. :evil:
 
I've managed to put 650,000 miles on mine. Routine maintenance plus using synthetic oil (pennzoil platinum) helps a lot. I have had to replace the cv shafts at least 3 or 4 times though. I change the sparkplugs and timing belt at 150k.
 
If you look at my picture you can tell that photography is not a skill that I have mastered. I'm so lazy, I still have the picture from my 2006 odyssey (which was totaled 2008) as my tag. My odyssey is no different than everyone else. I have used synthetic oil from the very beginning (pennzoil platinum) and timing belt and spark plugs at 150k. Those have been the secret to having it last this long. It is burning oil now (valve seals are probably shot) and I keep replacing the cv shafts more often than I would like (3 or 4 times so far). But otherwise not too bad.
 
Same transmission?
That's the big question. The 07 and on got the 4 shaft 5 speed that is pretty stout.
Also what ATF?
Congratulations and thanks for sharing

I haven't changed the transmission. I did change the transmission fluid with the new honda fluid at 300K

Hmm, maybe talk to Honda see if they'll use yours in an ad, maybe swap you for a new Odyssey.
