What is the 2004 Buick Lesabre’s oil type?

I’m about to go off to college and my parents just gave me their old 2004 Buick Lesabre. I’ll only be working part-time, so I need to save every penny possible. I’m thinking I want to learn how to change my own oil. What is the 2004 Buick Lesabre’s oil type?

Good for you on making such responsible decisions at a young age! The 2004
Buick Lesabre
uses fully synthetic 5W-30 motor oil.
The 2004 Buick Lesabre came standard with a 3.8-liter V6 engine for both Custom and Limited models. The motor oil capacity for your full-size sedan is 4.5 quarts with the filter and Buick suggests that you change your vehicle’s oil every 7,500 miles to keep your engine running as smoothly as possible. But don’t forget to reference your Buick Owner’s Manual to ensure you’re following the correct maintenance schedule for your Lesabre.
You’ll quickly learn that changing your own oil, along with other basic car maintenance, will help you save time and money. And if you’re looking to save even more on car-related expenses, you should check out
