  1. I have a 2012 Buick Enclave with the 3.6l V6. 185K miles and it idles so quietly you can't even tell its running. When that oil life gets to 0%, I just change it out within a week or two then reset it. I don't even use luxury oil either; Wal-Mart Supertech and she purrs like a kitty....

  2. I learned many years ago that fuel made by oil companies is usually the highest quality, so I have generally stuck to Shell, Mobil, Valero and other stations that are actually oil companies for my "good" cars, like Audi/BMW/Corvette/Jag etc. For my Toyota/Ford/Buick I just get whatever and I've never had an issue. Believe me, there IS a difference. A few years back on my first road trip in my new Alfa Romeo Giulia, I stopped at some random gas station in Little Rock, AR. I began gassing up, and before my wife even got back from the bathroom the car began sputtering and revving in a way I'd never seen before. I was shocked, but assumed it was cheap gas and just drove on. Nothing happened on the way home, and I've never seen that again since (never gassed up in Little Rock since). Imho, Euro cars its better to stick to the top brands, Asian and domestic you can put anything in there...
