The 2008 Honda Odyssey requires 4.5 quarts of SAE 5W-20 oil. It is advised by Honda to use synthetic oil for oil changes in your van. There are two main types of oils available - synthetic and conventional. Synthetic oil, which is scientifically engineered, provides better wear protection and longer lifespan compared to conventional oil. With synthetic oil, you can extend the oil change interval to every 7,500 miles, whereas conventional oil requires changes every 3,500 to 5,000 miles. To maintain your engine's health, I suggest checking your oil monthly to ensure it's at the proper level and free from debris or signs of burning that could lead to added engine wear.
