The 2008 Toyota Prius requires 1.5 liters of 4-cylinder engine and uses 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil. The vehicle can hold up to 3.9 quarts with a filter, and the torque for the drain plug is 28 ft/lbs. The 5W-30 specification indicates that the oil is thinner at startup (5) and thicker at operating speeds (30). Oil needs to be changed periodically as it degrades over time. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 5,000 miles for the Prius, which typically costs between $40 to $60 in labor. You can save money by doing the oil change yourself, which can be done in around 10 to 20 minutes.
