Each 2015 Buick Enclave model is equipped with the same 3.6L V6 engine, meaning that regardless of the trim level you have, you will be using the same type and amount of oil. The 2015 Enclave requires 6.0 quarts of SAE 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil, although in case of an emergency, you can temporarily use SAE 5W-40. However, for those living in extremely cold climates, it is advisable to opt for SAE 0W-30. While it is permissible to use a lighter oil weight, switching to SAE 5W-40 may cause increased friction over time, leading to premature engine wear and tear. Though this may not be a significant concern in the short term, it can accumulate over the vehicle's lifespan.

The 2015 Buick Enclave requires 6.4 US Quarts (6.0 liters) of engine oil. To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to use only engine oil that meets the dexos1™ specification with an SAE viscosity grade of 5W-30. Keep an eye out for the dexos1 approved logo on GM approved engine oil products.

I've seen that some websites recommend using 5.5 quarts of oil. Although I usually use 6 quarts, I've observed that my 2015 Buick has been leaking oil when I put in 6 quarts, but not when I use 5.5 quarts. I guess I'll give 5.5 quarts a try and then check the dipstick to see how it looks.
