When it comes to maintaining your Buick, one of the most critical aspects is getting a regular oil change. Proper oil maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your car. And your Buick dealer is the ideal place to get that taken care of.

Getting an Oil Change at Your Buick Dealer

The Advantages of Choosing Our Dealership for Oil Changes

Expertise and Knowledge

We employ certified technicians who specialize in Buick vehicles. They have extensive knowledge of your car’s specific requirements and can offer the most accurate advice on how often to get your oil changed, based on your vehicle model and your driving habits.

Genuine Buick Parts

When you have your oil changed at our dealership, you can trust that we will use genuine Buick oil filters and oil, designed to meet the exact specifications of your vehicle. This ensures high-quality performance and protection for your engine.


Warranty Coverage

Maintaining your Buick at an authorized dealership helps preserve your vehicle’s warranty. Should any issues arise, our records of dealership service can make the warranty claims process smoother and more convenient.


Determining the Right Interval for Getting Your Buick’s Oil Changed

Consult Your Owner’s Manual

The recommended interval for changing your car’s oil can vary depending on the model of Buick, engine type, and driving conditions. Your owner’s manual will provide specific guidelines for your particular model.


Normal vs. Severe Driving Conditions

Consider your driving habits. If you mainly drive under normal conditions, such as highway driving with minimal stop-and-go traffic, you can typically follow the manufacturer’s recommendation of changing the oil every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. 
However, if your driving conditions are more severe, such as heavy traffic, extreme temperatures, towing, or frequent short trips, you may need to come in to get your oil changed more frequently, typically every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.


Additional Benefits of Regular Oil Changes at Our Dealership

Improved Fuel Efficiency

Regular oil changes help keep your engine clean and lubricated, leading to better fuel efficiency. Over time, neglecting oil changes can cause your engine to work harder, resulting in decreased gas mileage.


Extended Engine Life

Proper lubrication and reduced friction provided by fresh oil can significantly extend the life of your Buick’s engine. Regular oil changes can help you avoid costly engine repairs or replacements down the road.


Enhanced Resale Value

A well-maintained vehicle with a documented service history, including regular oil changes performed at our Buick dealership, can command a higher resale value when you decide to sell or trade in your car.
