The 2018 Buick Encore has a 1.4 L 4Cylinder engine that needS4.2 quarts of engine oil with a filter. The type that should be used in the vehicle for the best performance is 0W-20 Synthetic in all temperatures and the torque for the drain plug is 18 ft/lbs. Oil is very important because it will help to keep the engine clean and running. Oil doesn't last forever and will go bad after a while so it needs changed every so often. For the Encore You should change the oil and the filter every 7,500 miles or so. You will know when to change the oil whenever the oil life indicator comes on in the vehicle. The cost of a change is anywhere from $20 to $40 in labor costs.
