Additional Notes

  • The Buick Encore (USA / CAN) rear differential fluid capacity is 0.5 liter across all listed AWD configurations, a figure consistent with the compact rear drive module units commonly found in small crossover platforms.
  • The 1.4 Turbo AWD (103 kW) variant covering 2017-2021 carries a normal-use rear differential fluid change interval of 150,000 miles, one of the longer service intervals seen in passenger vehicle differential maintenance schedules.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 103 kW configuration calls for a rear differential fluid change at 75,000 miles, exactly half the normal-use interval, reflecting the accelerated fluid degradation associated with demanding driving cycles.
  • The 1.4 Turbo AWD (114 kW) variant spanning 2017-2019 lists only a 0.5 liter rear differential capacity with no change interval recorded in the specifications, distinguishing it from the 103 kW and 115 kW entries that include mileage-based service intervals.
  • The 1.4 Turbo AWD (115 kW) configuration for 2021-2022 shares both the 0.5 liter capacity and the 150,000-mile normal-use change interval with the 103 kW variant, despite representing a different power output level.
  • Three distinct power outputs are represented across the listed AWD configurations: 103 kW, 114 kW, and 115 kW, each corresponding to a separate specification row, indicating that output rating is treated as a differentiating factor in service data even when capacity values are identical.
