How many liters of engine oil does the Envision require?
4 Answers
The Envision requires 5.4L of engine oil. Engine oil, also known as motor oil or engine lubricant, is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, primarily containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used for lubricating internal combustion engines. The Envision is a model under Shanghai General Motors, with body dimensions of 4686mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1660mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2750mm. In terms of exterior design, the Envision features an intelligent drag-reducing grille, aluminum roof rails, newly designed chrome dual exhaust pipes, 19-inch multi-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, and multi-function exterior rearview mirrors.
For my 2018 Buick Envision with the 1.5T engine, each oil change requires about 4.7 liters, but the exact amount depends on how thoroughly the old oil is drained. The mechanic first pours in 4 liters, starts the engine to circulate for a few minutes, then turns it off and waits ten minutes before checking the dipstick. They’ll top it up as needed, usually ending up between 4.5-4.8 liters. A reminder to fellow owners: use a full synthetic 5W-30 oil that meets GM’s dexos1 standard. If buying oil yourself, it’s safer to have 5 liters on hand. Always check the oil level when the engine is cold for the most accurate reading—or after letting it sit for ten minutes if the engine is warm. Never check it on a slope.
I just had my 2019 2.0T Envision serviced, and the 4S dealership used exactly 5.7 liters of Silver Mobil 1 oil. The technician mentioned that the LTG engine has a design capacity of 5.75 liters, but they usually leave a slight margin within the standard range during actual operation. The key is to ensure the oil pan is completely drained—using an oil extractor can remove about 200ml more than gravity draining. If the oil filter is replaced, an additional top-up is needed. They recommend checking the dipstick again after driving for two or three days post-maintenance for a more accurate reading.
The colleague's older model 2.0T Envision requires approximately 5.5 liters per actual measurement, mainly depending on the maintenance method. For DIY oil changes, it's safer to prepare 6 liters of oil. It is recommended to use ACDelco dexos1 certified 0W-20 full synthetic oil, as this specification offers better startup protection in cold regions. When changing the oil, remember to thoroughly drain the residual oil from the old oil filter, and apply a layer of new oil on the rubber ring before installing the new filter.
