The Buick Enclave was introduced for the 2008 model year with the 3.6L LY7 engine. This engine had been introduced originally for the 2004 Cadillac CTS. While there have been upgrades made, the design proved reliable and has been a mainstay of the mid size market. In 2009, enclave upgraded to the 3.6L LLT engine also used in the Acadia, CTS, Outlook, and Cadillac STS.

2008 Enclaves are beginning to get to the age where some engine replacements are necessary that are not covered under warranty. These are typically vehicles that have used up their drive train warranty of 5 years or 100,000 miles. Most Enclaves will currently have few miles than this! 33,000 miles per year would be a heavy driver indeed. Another source of engine failure that General Motors won’t warranty is failures due to lack of coolant resulting in overheating or failures from a lack of oil to lubricate the engine.

There is currently a tremendous availability of good low mile Enclave engines, meaning that there is really no reason to buy a “new” engine from the dealership.

All of our motors come with a 1 year, unlimited mile part warranty and a free vehicle history report to verify the mileage on the vehicle the engine was removed from.
