The 2012 Buick Enclave requires SAE 5w-30 fully synthetic motor oil for its 4.3 liter V6 engine, with a capacity of 5.0 US quarts. You can purchase this oil at various retail locations, as well as automotive stores and online from reputable sellers. The price per bottle typically ranges from $3.16 to $14.33. If you opt for professional service, labor costs may add an extra $32 to $134. A funnel costing between $1 and $3 could also be helpful in minimizing spills during the oil change. It is recommended to get an oil change every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
Could someone clarify for me whether it should be 5 or 6 quarts of oil? The information seems to be conflicting on the same page.
Buick suggests using engine oil that meets the dexos1 standards, or something similar, with the correct SAE viscosity grade of 5W-30 for the 2012 Buick Enclave. The oil capacity for the 2012 Enclave is 6 US Quarts (equivalent to 5.7 liters).
