Sounds like a good deal! Your required 2019
Buick Encore
oil type depends on what kind of engine your Encore has, which could vary depending on your trim level. If you’re not sure about your engine type, you can review your original purchase papers, check the label on the inside of your driver side door jamb, or find the information on the engine itself.
Here’s the 2019 Buick Encore oil type you need based on your engine type:
2019 Buick Encore engine type
2019 Buick Encore oil type
LE2 1.4L turbo (VIN code M)
0W-20
LUV 1.4L turbo (VIN code B)
SAE 5W-30 (or, where temperatures may fall under 20 degrees Fahrenheit, SAE 0W-30)
Buick recommends engine oils that meet dexos1 specifications, which will display the appropriate logo on their container. You can search for brands that meet the specification at gmdexos.com.
Using the correct 2019 Buick Encore oil type is vital for keeping your engine in good working condition—oil that doesn’t meet the right viscosity grade or other specifications can prevent the oil from circulating through the engine the way that it needs to, which could result in expensive engine damage.
For more 2019 Buick Encore oil type recommendations, you can refer to your owner’s manual.
