How much engine oil should the Encore be filled with?
2 Answers
The Encore should be filled with 4L of engine oil. Below is a related introduction to the Encore: 1. Powertrain: The new car is equipped with the eighth-generation Ecotec 1.3T L3 direct-injection turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 121kW (165PS) at 5600rpm and a maximum torque of 240Nm between 1500~4000rpm, paired with a CVT transmission, achieving a combined fuel consumption of 5.7L/100km. 2. Exterior design: The chrome trim extending from the Buick logo to both sides of the front complements the sporty front spoiler below, creating a refined and three-dimensional face. The addition of large-sized blackened wheels, black bumpers, and sporty exhaust enhances the visual appeal.
I've been driving my Enclave for two years and use about 5.5 liters of oil for each change. I prefer doing it myself—buying a 4-liter jug plus a smaller one to make up the amount, then pouring it into the engine bay and slowly filling up to the top mark on the dipstick. Overfilling can cause unstable oil pressure and damage the engine, so I start the car for a few minutes, then stop it, let it sit, and check again. I also replace the oil filter to prevent impurities from flowing back and extend the engine's lifespan. As an owner, I recommend using full synthetic oil, such as 5W-30, which not only protects the engine efficiently but also saves fuel. Changing it every 5,000 km keeps the car running smoothly and saves on future repair costs.
