Make sure to use 5W-20 full synthetic motor oil recommended by Honda for the 2008 Honda Element. Using the manufacturer-recommended oil helps keep your engine in optimal condition since it is designed to work best with that oil. The car's capacity is 5 quarts, so be careful not to overfill it when topping up on your own. If you want to do a complete oil change yourself, you can buy the oil at stores like Autozone. If you prefer to have it done at a shop, expect to pay between $100 and $150 for a standard oil change, which usually takes about an hour. It is advisable to do this every 3500 to 5000 miles.
