When to Change 2021 Buick Encore Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Buick Encore’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Buick recommends changing your 2021 Encore’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Encore may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Buick Encore. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
