When Does Your Engine Need Maintenance or Repairs?
Regular oil changes are the foundation of good engine maintenance, with other major milestones to look over important engine components at various mileage intervals. You can find your recommended maintenance schedule in your owner's manual or by asking our friendly staff in the Service Center.
Routine maintenance is the best way to protect your engine and avoid unexpected, costly repairs. Newer Buick and GMC models typically go between 7,500 to 10,000 miles between oil changes and multipoint inspections about once a year. For unexpected issues in between regular maintenance, you should seek out an appointment for your engine as soon as possible if you notice any of the following:
- Check Engine Light Is On
- Strange Noises
- Burning Smells
- Low Performance
- Idling Rough
- Excessive Exhaust Smoke
- Fluid Leaks
