The 2016 Buick Enclave requires 5.2 liters (equivalent to 5.5 quarts) of SAE 5W-30 synthetic engine oil, which lasts longer than non-synthetic oils. This oil is intended to enhance performance, improve fuel economy in various weather conditions, and prevent corrosion, reducing the need for frequent replacements. It is crucial to monitor the oil regularly to avoid potential costly engine damage. Despite Buick's recommendation to change the oil every 7,500 miles, your maintenance schedule may vary if you often make long-distance trips at low speeds or drive in dusty environments. An oil change for this vehicle typically costs between $100 to $140, with labor making up $30 to $50 of that total.
The 2016 Buick Enclave manual suggests using AC Delco dexos1 Synthetic Blend with an SAE 5W-30 viscosity. Any brand that meets the dexos1 standard will be suitable, and you can adjust the viscosity based on the conditions in which you drive.
On May 30th, use Semi Synthetic oil that meets the dexos specifications. This oil is not specifically formulated for high mileage vehicles.
