The 2018 Buick Encore requires 4.2 quarts of engine oil with a filter for its 1.4 L 4-cylinder engine. It is recommended to use 0W-20 Synthetic oil for optimal performance in all temperatures, and the drain plug should be torqued to 18 ft/lbs. Maintaining the proper oil level is crucial for keeping the engine clean and running smoothly. Oil deteriorates over time, so it's necessary to change it regularly. For the Buick Encore, it is advised to change the oil and filter every 7,500 miles or when the oil life indicator prompts you to do so. Typically, the cost for an oil change ranges from $20 to $40 for labor.
