The 2008 Honda Civic requires 3.9 quarts of oil. It is important to change the oil periodically, ideally every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Failing to do so can lead to engine problems. Using high-quality oil is essential for optimal engine performance. Eventually, you may encounter issues with the oil, such as a strong burning odor, which should be checked promptly to avoid potential engine damage. Neglecting oil maintenance can result in engine failure and poor gas mileage, as well as the development of unusual knocking noises originating from the engine.

    As an owner of an '08 Civic Si, I have been following the oil capacity recommendation in the Haynes manual, which states 4.6 quarts. However, after changing the filter and ensuring the oil level is correct, I found that it reads slightly low on the dipstick. To reach the desired level, I add a bit more than half a quart, making the total oil capacity with a filter change around 5.3 quarts. It seems that the 4.6 quarts mentioned in the manual may be without considering the filter change, as it does not specify.

    In 2008, the Honda Civic takes 3.7 liters (or 3.9 US quarts) of oil. It's recommended to use Honda Motor Oil 5W-20, which is great for all seasons and helps your car start smoothly in cold weather while also improving fuel efficiency.
