Honda recommends changing your 2004 Element’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Element in the above table. Your Element may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Honda if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Honda Element. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
