5:34, the service manual specifies 4.2 quarts for both engine models of the Buick Encore, not 4.75 quarts. It's crucial to use the correct amount of motor oil.

You even watch the video? Directly after that I said put in 4, and then I checked the level, then added another half quart to get it up to the dipstick. So I did indeed put the correct amount of motor oil.

@@danielfliman3683 Yes, I watched it. At 5:34, you state "the service manual calls for 4.75 quarts," which is incorrect. Regardless of whether you ultimately used the correct amount of oil, you still provided inaccurate information.

Update: yep, I did the oil change! Yay! It was fairly easy and followed the instructions! Only problem I encountered was the screw to oil under the car was too tight and stripped (I didn’t do it, they probably did that the previous oil change at the agency). Went to Orileys and told them my problem and they recommend some pliers type tool and a new oil screw cap. That was my only hiccup. Sorry I don’t know all the terminology or names of the tools. But for other women out there… totally recommend following the video. Even with the tools… it was 1/3 of what I pay at the dealership.

The plastic plug is a problem for me. I took the belly pan off to gain access and things went great but when I reinstalled the plastic plug and started refilling it leaked. Not sure if it’s the plug that’s bad or the threads in the bottom of the radiator. This info has been no where to be found on the internet. I ordered a new plug and hopefully that will fix it but if not who knows. Plastic drain plug is a bad idea.

Fresh oil is better than used.

Don’t use brake cleaner on the engine. Use a car degreaser that’s safe on plastic and then rinse it off with water. Also, do not fill to the top of the dipstick because you might accidentally overfill the engine. The true reading of the dipstick is after the engine reaches operating temperature and you shut it down for 5 min. Then you check the reading. Using the dipstick while filling the engine with oil can give you inaccurate reading. Anywhere in between the dipstick marks is good and safe for the engine. The manual should say how much oil you need to add after draining the engine oil (hot).

@danielfliman3683
Жыл бұрын
Hey! I’d love to if I still owned the car haha. Make sure you are jacking the car from the pinch weld, the semi thin line of metal that runs the length of the car, there are little cut outs in the pinch weld that you can use to know where to jack it from. Then make sure to put your stand on a chunky piece of frame and not the floor board, that’s pretty important. If you hit the frame with a screwdriver it should sound like metal on metal or else your hitting the floor board.
