Don’t add anything to your
oil.
Your Cadillac dealer is ready to advise if
you
think something should be added.
When to Change Engine Oil
Your Cadillac has an “Oil Life Indicator.” This feature will let you know
when to change your oil and filter
--
usually between
3,000
miles
(5
000
km)
and
7,500
miles
(12
500
km) since your last
oil
change. Under severe
conditions, the indicator may come
on
before
3,000
miles
(5
000
km).
Never drive your vehicle more
than
7,500
miles
(12
500
km) or
12
months
without an oil change.
The system won’t detect dust in the oil.
So,
if you drive in a
dusty
area, be
sure to change your oil every
3,000
miles
(5
000
km) or sooner
if
the
CHANGE OIL
SOON
light comes
on.
Remember
to
reset the
Oil
Life
Indicator when the
oil
has been changed. For more information, see “Oil
Life Indicator” in the Index.
How
to
Reset the
Oil
Life
Indicator
After the
oil
has been changed, display the
OIL
LIFE LEFT message by
pressing the INFORMATION button. Then press and hold the
RESET
button until the display shows
“loo”.
This resets the oil life index. The
message will remain off until the next
oil
change is needed. The
percentage
of
oil life remaining may be checked at any time by pressing
the
INFORMATION button several times until the OIL LIFE LEFT
message appears. For more information on the
Oil
Life Index feature, see
“Oil Life Index” in the Index.
Engine Coolant Heater
An
engine coolant heater can be a big help
if
you have
to
park outside in
very
cold weather,
0°F
(-18OC)
or colder. If your vehicle has this option,
see “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.
