How Many Liters of Engine Oil Does the Envision Use?
2 Answers
The Envision uses approximately 5.4 liters of engine oil. Engine oil serves multiple functions including lubricating and reducing friction in the engine, assisting in cooling, sealing to prevent leaks, preventing rust and corrosion, and cushioning vibrations. Taking the 2021 Envision as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of: length 4694mm, width 1839mm, height 1686mm, a wheelbase of 2750mm, and a curb weight of 1610kg. The 2021 Envision features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine delivering a maximum horsepower of 169PS, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and a maximum power output of 124kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
When I first bought my Buick Envision, I was particularly meticulous about the engine oil level during every maintenance. Typically, it takes around 5.7 liters, like my 2020 model with the 2.0T engine. But don’t just take my word for it—check the owner’s manual for the exact figure, as it might vary slightly depending on the year or model. For instance, the 1.5T engine uses just over 5 liters. When changing the oil, I prefer using full synthetic 5W-30, which performs well in all weather conditions, especially for smoother cold starts in winter. Don’t forget to inspect and replace the oil filter at the same time to save time. If the oil level is too low, you’ll notice the engine struggling and increased noise while driving; overfilling can lead to leaks. It’s best to change the oil every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers—don’t delay too long. Keep an eye on the dashboard warning lights to catch issues early and avoid costly repairs later. Overall, putting a little effort into maintenance ensures a smoother, more fuel-efficient ride.
