The 2008 Honda Pilot requires SAE 5w-20 fully synthetic detergent motor oil, with a capacity of 4.5 US quarts. This oil can be purchased at mass retail stores, automotive parts shops, or online from reputable sellers, typically priced between $2.36 and $11.52 per bottle. If you opt for a professional oil change service, expect to pay an extra $49 to $135 for labor. Consider buying a $1 to $3 funnel to minimize spills during the oil change process. It is recommended to change the oil every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
The 2008 Honda Pilot needs 4.5 US quarts of oil with the filter. When the engine oil life is between 15 and 6 percent, the engine oil indicator will pop up each time you start the car by turning the key to the ON (II) position. The maintenance minder light will also turn on, showing other service codes along with the oil life indicator. If you see the 15 or 10 percent oil life warning, it means it's almost time for scheduled maintenance.
As per the manual, my 2008 Honda Pilot requires 4.5 quarts of oil for a complete refill.
