Common problems and easy repairs on a 2018 Regal Sportback

The 2018 Buick Regal Sportback Preferred II is somewhat easy to maintain. The fog light is accessible by simply reaching behind the front bumper, allowing for reliable bulb changes. Connecting your phone via Bluetooth won’t be a problem thanks to the clear instructions on the touchscreen menu. Performing an oil change will be easy thanks to the unobstructed access to both the oil drain plug and the oil filter.

However, the 2018 Buick Regal Sportback Preferred II has some convoluted set-ups. Many of the headlights are LED or will require tools to access their bulbs, which won’t make for reliable changes. The petcock will prove difficult to access as you must make a cramped reach for it down through the engine bay. Fixing a flat tire may prove problematic, as the included compressor kit won’t be of service if you suffer severe damage or break down in a sparsely-populated area.
