Buick engine oil needs to be replaced when its remaining life is below 0.1. The oil life reminder is calculated by the vehicle's computer system based on various factors including usage time, mileage, engine speed, etc. When the remaining oil life drops to around 0.1, the vehicle's instrument cluster will display a prompt for immediate oil change. Additional information about engine oil is as follows: Functions: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple purposes including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. It is often referred to as the "blood" of automobiles. Classification: Engine oils are categorized into three types based on their origin: conventional mineral oil, synthetic oil, and nano-ceramic oil. Synthetic oils offer superior lubricity, lower friction resistance, better oxidation resistance, and stronger cleaning performance compared to mineral oils. Their disadvantages include slightly poorer low-temperature fluidity and heat resistance than mineral oils.
