How many liters of engine oil does the Envision require?
2 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.
