Buick Encore Oil Capacity

ByPeter M. Thomas

The 2023 Buick Encore is a subcompact SUV that offers a comfortable and stylish ride. It is powered by a 1.4L turbocharged engine that produces 155 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Oil Capacity

The oil capacity of the 2023 Buick Encore is 5.3 quarts, including the filter. However, it is important to note that the actual amount of oil required may vary depending on the specific model and trim level of the vehicle.

Recommended Oil Type

The manufacturer recommends using a 5W-30 synthetic oil for the 2023 Buick Encore. This oil weight provides the best protection for the engine in a variety of driving conditions.

How to Check the Oil Level

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine.
2. Wait a few minutes for the oil to settle into the oil pan.
3. Open the hood and locate the oil dipstick.
4. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean with a rag.
5. Insert the dipstick back into the oil pan until it is fully seated.
6. Pull out the dipstick again and check the oil level.

The oil level should be between the “FULL” and “ADD” marks on the dipstick. If the oil level is low, add enough oil to bring it up to the “FULL” mark.

How to Change the Oil

1. Gather the following materials:

* New oil filter (ACDelco PF47)
* 5 quarts of 5W-30 synthetic oil
* Oil drain pan
* Funnel
* Wrench
* Rags

2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine.
3. Wait a few minutes for the oil to settle into the oil pan.
4. Crawl under the vehicle and locate the oil drain plug.
5. Place the oil drain pan under the oil drain plug.
6. Loosen the oil drain plug with a wrench.
7. Allow all of the oil to drain out of the oil pan.
8. Replace the oil drain plug and tighten it securely.
9. Move the oil drain pan under the oil filter.
10. Loosen the oil filter with a wrench.
11. Remove the oil filter and allow all of the oil to drain out of it.
12. Apply a thin coat of new oil to the gasket of the new oil filter.
13. Screw on the new oil filter until it is snug.
14. Add 5 quarts of new oil to the engine.
15. Check the oil level and add more oil if necessary.
16. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes.
17. Turn off the engine and check for leaks.
