Buick Encore Preferred 2018
Hey everyone. I just became an owner of a lightly used 2018 buick encore preferred, and with Winter approaching soon, I am wanting to get everything ready.

I am wondering if someone can help me locate where the block heater/oil pan heater cord may be located, and what it looks like.

Just need to know if I need to get one installed for the pending Canadian Winter that is coming my way.

If someone can take pictures or find a diagram so I can look that would be even better!

Thank you!

(p.s: The car did not come with a manual unfortunately. I have the AWD on the car too, if that matters)
