2011 Buick regal oil filter Location Diagram

Buick Regal Oil Filter

On the 2.4L it is located under the hood just behind the oil dipstick. It is a cartridge filter that requires a 1 1/4 " socket to remove the filter cap.
It's located next to the dip stick you will need a 1 1/4 socket to remove it.

Oil filter is under the black cap right behind the dip stick.

The 2011 Regal does have an electric power steering pump. Also, The oil filter is located on the driver's side upper portion of the engine. It is a cartridge type oil filter.

The serpentine belt only runs the air conditioner, water pump and alternator.


According to the Buick driver's handbook only the 2.0 w/turbo has electric power steering. The 2.4 has a pump with reservoir in-front of the battery box.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING OIL CHANGE:
Latest model 2011 Buick regal  vehicle has a computer system integrated that indicates when to change the engine oil and filter. This calculation is based on engine revolutions and engine temperature, and not on mileage. Based on driving conditions, the mileage at which an oil change is indicated can vary considerably. For the oil life system to work properly, the system must be reset every time the oil is changed. When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it indicates that an oil change is necessary. A CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message comes on.Please dont ignore this message.
If oil change is not done on time then it can further lead to major engine failure problems.

Change the oil as soon as possible within the next 1 000 km (600 miles). It is possible that, if driving under the best conditions, the oil life system might not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over a year. However,its suggested that the engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year and at this time the system must be reset. It can be done by dealer or from at professional Auto repair garages.Your dealer has trained service people who will perform this work using genuine parts and reset the system. It is also important to check the oil regularly and keep it at the proper level. If the system is ever reset accidentally, the oil must be changed at 5 000 km (3,000 miles) since the last oil change. Remember to reset the oil life system whenever the oil is changed.

ALWAYS USE THE EXACT RECOMMENDED OIL:
The 2011 Regal requires a very specific kind of Synthetic Oil. It is 5W-30 in viscosity but it HAS to carry the 'dexos 1' designation on the bottle. Dont ignore "dexos 1" This is a new formulation of oil, and has to be licensed by GM, so many oil companies do not have it yet or do not label their bottles with it yet. You can look for the API Service badge for an idea that the oil may be 'dexos 1' compatible. Look for an API standard of SN. This is the most current API level. 

The only oils I have that are LABELED 'dexos 1' are Castrol Syntec (black bottle) and Syntec Edge (gold bottle).


This details will help.
Thanks.

how to replace AT Filter on Nissan Terrano?

The Terrano has a powerful 2.7 Litre Turbo Diesel engine which gives you on avarage 8.5Km/l. My best was 9.2Km/l.

Here is some useful links:

What diesel to use

Nissan Terrano 2.7 TDi:--

Replacing the pollen filter of your Nissan Terrano:

When the air flow in the cabin decrease the problem might be that the pollen filter of your Nissan Terrano is blocked. This is rather easy to replace. If you stay in South Africa you can take your filter to places like Filter World in Paul Kruger street, Pretoria (012-323-5120).

The filter is located behind the glove compartment. To replace it first remove the glove compartment. It has two screws at the bottom of the door.

On my model you also have to remove the little panel on the left of the glove box because one of the screws for the cross bar are located underneath it.
Now you can remove the steel cross bar by unscrewing the three screws that attach it.
You will note that the big black plastic container behind it has a little vertical slide in it. The pollen filter is located behind this slide. So you have undo the screw at the bottom of the slide and then slide it open by pulling it downwards
The pollen filter is behind the slide. Just pull it out and push in the new one. You will see that it can only go in one way. There is a little rib on the one end of the filter that must slide into a slot in the filter holder. After that you can replace everything in reversed order.




----------------------------
Anyone know how to get access to the oil filter on a Terrano II 2.7TDI. I can't see a way to get to it without removing major parts such a exhaust.

If it's like most other Nissans, you get to it from underneath - Jack it upand put it on axel stands.

You may need to remove the splash tray from under the engine, then slide under - cover the exhaust, as most Nissans I know have the filter above the exhaust.

A removal tool is recommended in tight spots.

-------------------------
Yes the fuel filter is easy to change, your local motor spares will have a catalogue telling them which filter to sell you, BUT, its a diesel, so you need to know how to bleed it. Bleeding is when you get all the air out of the system, air gets into the fuel lines when you remove the filter, and a diesel wont run with air in the system, so you have to get it out. You can make this a much easier process by filling the filter with diesel before installing it. Some motors need you to loosen a fitting here and there to allow the air out while pumping the fuel.


Your fuel filter should (could/might) have a drain at the bottom. If you open this and drain the filter, you should get rid of the water. You may also have a pre-filter or sedimenter in the fuel line closer to the tank.
