For the 2008 Buick LaCrosse, it's recommended to use 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil. The 3.6L V6 engine requires 5.5 US quarts, the 3.8L V6 needs 4.5 US quarts, and the 5.3L V8 takes 6.0 US quarts. Doing your own oil changes at home is cost-effective and simple. The price for a 5-quart bottle ranges from $15 to $30, depending on the brand you prefer. If you'd rather have a professional do it, expect to pay between $115 and $130. Regular oil checks and changes are crucial for maintaining your car's health. Aim to change the oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or six months, whichever comes first. It's also recommended to check the oil levels monthly and ensure they fall within the top and bottom marks on the dipstick.
The 2008 Buick LaCrosse models with 3.6L and 3.8L V6 engines require 5.4 quarts of 5W-30 fully synthetic motor oil, while the 5.3L V8 model needs 6.0 quarts of the same oil.
This is incorrect, only five quarts.
