What brand of engine oil is used for the Buick Envision?
2 Answers
Buick Envision uses Mobil Super 1000 fully synthetic engine oil. Mobil Super 1000 is more suitable for use in regions with higher summer temperatures. However, while high-viscosity oil provides sufficient protection at high temperatures, its high viscosity also results in higher fuel consumption compared to fully synthetic oils with high viscosity indexes like Mobil 1. The Buick Envision is a new-generation strategic model from General Motors, positioned as a midsize SUV. It measures 4686mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1660mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750mm. The body size is not small, and the interior space is relatively spacious.
When it comes to engine oil for the Buick Envision, I've driven this car for several years and found Mobil 1 synthetic 5W-30 to be excellent. It meets the dexos certification standard, which is clearly required in the manual due to the engine's precision design. The throttle response is quick during acceleration, with good oil temperature stability and no startup hesitation in winter. I've tried other dexos-certified brands like Castrol or Valvoline, which also perform well, but Mobil 1 proves more durable for long-distance driving. The key is not to skimp on cheap oils that can easily cause carbon buildup and affect engine lifespan. The Envision takes about 5 liters of oil, with changes recommended every 5,000 km or six months to maintain engine health and prolong the vehicle's life. Regularly checking the dipstick for leaks makes maintenance worry-free.
