Don’t add anything to your oil. Your Cadillac dealer is
ready to advise if you tlunk something should be added.
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
(whichever occurs first) 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
ENGINE
OIL
message 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.
After
the
oil has been changed, display the
OIL
LIFE
LEFT
message by pressing the
INFORMATION
(INFO)
button. Then press and hold the
RESET (INFO
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
(INIFQ)
button several times until
the
OIL
LIFE
LEFT
message appears. For more
information on the Oil Life feature, see “Oil Life
Indicator”
in
the Index.

Did you
know
that used engine
oil
contains certain
elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could
even cause cancer? Don’t let used
oil
stay on your skin
for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and
water,
or
a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw
away clothing or rags containing used engine oil. (See
the manufacturer’s warnings about the use and disposal
of oil products.)
Used oil can be
a
real threat to the environment.
If
you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all free-flowing oil
from
the
filter before disposal. Don’t ever dispose
of
oil
by putting
it
in
the trash, pouring it on the ground, into
sewers,
or
into streams
QI-
bodies of water. Instead,
recycle
it
by takmg it
to
a place that collects used oil. If
you have
a
problem properly disposing of your
used
oil,
ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling
center for help.
