All About 2016 Buick Encore Drivetrain Service

Your Encore’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Buick, from the axles to the transmission.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2016 Buick Encore, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Buick's recommendations.
