In a 2008 Honda Accord, when you see the yellow wrench light come on, it means the maintenance minder system is telling you it's time to change the oil. This system keeps an eye on different engine parts and conditions, and when the oil life drops below 15%, the light will come on. Instead of sticking to a specific mileage, Honda relies on this system to determine when the oil needs changing. For the best results, use API certified premium grade 5W-20 detergent oil, and if you prefer synthetic oil, just make sure it meets the same certifications. In the Accord, the 2.4-liter engines can hold 5.6 quarts of oil, while the V6 models hold 5.3 quarts.

The wrench symbol on the 2008 Honda Accord signals the Maintenance Minder Indicator. When the engine oil life is between 15% and 6%, the engine oil life indicator and Maintenance Minder system will activate each time you start the car. Additionally, the maintenance minder will show any codes for other scheduled services that require attention alongside the engine oil life indicator.
