The 2008 Dodge Avenger needs 4.2 liters (4.5 quarts) of SAE 5W-30 engine oil. This oil is a popular synthetic option suitable for various engines across different climates. The car manual recommends changing the oil every 6,000 miles or 6 months, depending on whichever comes first. However, it's essential to adjust the maintenance schedule based on your driving habits. Make it a habit to regularly check your oil level to avoid potential engine damage caused by low or old oil. All engine parts need oil for lubrication. If you're doing the oil change yourself, consider popular 5W-30 products such as Amsoil Signature Series, Mobil 1, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, and Castrol Edge.

    As per the 2008 manual, the 2.4L and 2.7L Engines are recommended to use SAE 5W-20 engine oil in order to enhance low temperature performance and fuel efficiency. Make sure to check your engine oil filler cap for the recommended viscosity. Do not use lubricants without the proper engine oil certification mark and SAE viscosity grade number. On the other hand, the 3.5L Engine should use SAE 10W-30 engine oil for optimal performance in all temperatures. Check the engine oil filler cap to confirm the recommended viscosity for your vehicle.
