FINALLY a Buick 3.8 video! I love my 2001 Buick Park Avenue.

[GixxerRider]

I have had a 2008 Grand Prix with the same non-SC engine as my daily driver for three years now. It is an excellent car and I routinely get 31 mpg cruising at 60 on the highway. I commute 74 miles a day and this car has never let me down. This car is 15 years old and the AC will still freeze you out. Long live the 3800, the best engine ever made.

I worked at a Pontiac dealership back in the 1990s; the Bonneville SSEi was an AMAZING car. In my opinion, a nearly perfect blend of luxury and power.

[Trenton-omqs]

Those 3.8 engines are amazing. My parents had a 97 Pontiac Bonneville with that engine. They drove that car for 20 years until it literally rotted away. My grandpa has a 03 buick regal with that engine

[aaronlopez]

Thank Scotty for the info.
3.8 L Buick engine to me was one of the very best ever made by general motors.

In a LaCrosse now, 2000 Impala before. Grandma's supercharged Regal still runs.

Believe that is a 3800 II. It will have always been a gem. The Impala was sold to a former student. He says all he replaced was a radiator and performed oil changes. It has excellent gas mileage. That Series II, can't kill it.

[Diesel_Mountain]

B-17s and P-38s were some of the first "vehicles" to use turbo-superchargers. Good stuff Scotty.

[albertastorms]

My Old 1987 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight had a 3800 naturally aspirated engine. That thing got up to 400, 000 miles before the transmission went out.

[josephkelleher]

Best car I ever owned was an 03' Buick Lesabre with a 3800 V6 engine. Best engine I ever owned and the transmission was pretty good too. The only problem with that car is I had to replace the upper intake manifold.

[CheddarCheeseBandit]

My f150 ecoboost, which I loved, after 280k miles, required a cab-off repair of replacing both turbos for $7500 at the dealer, coolant lines were leaking. Dealer only. Still runs great though.

[markbuilt]

Had that 3800 V-6 super charged Bonneville SSE . That was a great car and best engine

[Sweaty__Sheep]

Well played Scotty. Good to see you aren't taking any experimental, "emergency use", liability-free money shots...

[Chubbycat]

If driven gently, you might can use regular. The boost mainly kicks in under heavy acceleration, and that is when the premium gas is necessary.

[kristensorensen]

I have a 97 Grand Sport Regal 2 door. 3800 v-6 is bulletproof if cared for. This was made in Canada and has plenty of power w/o the blower.

[skobiewan]

had a 1994 gen 1 3800 Bonnevlle SSEi one of the best cars I have every owned, drove that into the ground till the trans and the engine went (almost at thie same time). Miss that car!!!

[TheMediocreMinuteman]

Ty for talking about the 3800 and the supercharged version. Really good quality and one of the best ever!

[garylangley]

My friend's Buick with the 3.8 engine and a supercharger lasted 312, 000 miles. The engine was still running good, but the transmission went out. He junked it, but he liked the car a lot. By the way, on the $200 Chevy, how about some Lucas transmission additive? Get a few more miles out of the beast.

[georgeboyer]

I have a 1990 Buick LeSabre that has been in my family since it was new. There are 154, 000 miles on the clock, and she still runs like she loves the open road, still gets excellent gas milage, and in general needs no expensive repair. I just turned 72 and have decided to get another daily driver and make the Buick my retirement project. And yes, she has the 3800 V6.
