The 2008 Toyota Prius has a 1.5 L 4Cylinder engine that needS5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil. The capacity for the vehicle iS3.9 quarts with a filter and the torque for the drain plug is 28 ft/lbs. The meaning of 5W-30 is that 5 is the thickness or the viscosity of the oil at startup, w is for winter and 30 is the thickness or the viscosity at operating speeds. Oil doesn't last forever so it needs to be changed every so often. For the Prius You should do an oil and filter change every 5,000 miles. The cost of a change is anywhere from $40 to $60 in labor costs. If You want to save some money You can do a change in about 10 to 20 minutes.
