How often should the Buick New Excelle change its engine oil?
2 Answers
Buick Excelle should have its engine oil changed every 5,000-7,500 kilometers. Below are some precautions regarding engine oil changes for vehicles: Warm up the engine before draining the oil: Because the oil is thinner at this time, it flows more easily, carrying away impurities and helping to drain the oil thoroughly. Remember not to drain the oil when the engine is cold. Replace the oil filter simultaneously: Because the old oil filter may be clogged with impurities, a blocked oil filter can slow down the oil flow, reducing engine lubrication. Measure the oil quantity accurately: Some vehicles can use the oil dipstick to determine if the oil level is appropriate; check for oil leaks around the drain plug and oil filter.
As a Buick Excelle owner for several years, I always refer to the manual for oil changes, which recommends every 7,500 to 10,000 kilometers or annually. But in practice, it depends on your driving habits. For instance, since I frequently encounter city traffic jams with slow-moving conditions that put more load on the engine, I shorten the interval to every 7,000 kilometers or six months. Opt for synthetic oil—it's more expensive but lasts longer, protecting the engine from wear and extending its lifespan. Don't wait too long; when the oil turns black and thick, it's time for a change. Delaying could lead to engine damage with costly repairs. Regular maintenance improves fuel efficiency and keeps your car running smoothly. I suggest consulting a reputable repair shop—they can tailor a schedule based on your car's condition. But avoid unnecessary frequent changes pushed by sales pitches—it's just a waste of money.
