Why check the motor oil level in my Buick Rendezvous?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Buick Rendezvous engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

How hard is it to change Buick Rendezvous oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Buick Rendezvous spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Why is the oil light on in my Buick Rendezvous?

Your Buick Rendezvous oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.

Do I need to change my Rendezvous's oil filter when I get an oil change?

You should replace your Buick Rendezvous during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.

Buick recommends having your 2005 Buick Rendezvous’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Rendezvous may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

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