How Much Oil Does a Buick Century Take?
The 2005 Buick Century with the 3.1L 6-cyl engine (engine code LG8) takes 4.5 quarts (with filter) of 5W-30 synthetic oil. A new oil filter and a crush washer are required.
Introduced in 1981, the fifth-generation Buick Century became a front-wheel-drive vehicle. The car was offered with sedan and coupe bodies, and in 1984 a station wagon appeared. There were also innovations under the hood: the Century was equipped with 2.2 and 2.5 gasoline four-cylinder engines and a 4.3-liter V6 diesel engine. But the greatest demand, as before, were the versions with petrol “sixes” 2.8, 3.0, 3.1 and 3.8 with a capacity of 110 to 160 forces. All cars were equipped with automatic transmissions.
In 1989, the model was restyled. Buick Century was produced in factories in the USA, Canada and Mexico until 1996. It is noteworthy that this car was exported, among other things, to Japan, but there it was called Buick Luxus or Buick Regal since the name Century in the local market was occupied by Toyota.
