1993 CADILLAC DEVILLE check oil

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine How To Reset the Oil Life Indicator: After the oil has been changed,
press and hold the
“RANGE” and “RESET” buttons between 5 and 60
seconds. Once the buttons are released the “CHANGE OIL SOON”
light will flash 4 times to indicate it has reset to 100. If the “CHANGE
OIL SOON” light comes on for 5 seconds it did not reset. You will need
to reset the system again. The percentage
of oil life remaining may be
checked at any time by pressing the
“RANGE” and “FUEL USED” on
the Fuel Data center.
Engine Block Heater: An engine block heater can be a big help if you
have to park outside
in very cold weather, O°F (-18OC) or colder. If your
vehicle has this option, see “Engine Block Heater” in the Index.
What to Do with Used Oil:
’
A CAUTION:
Used engine oil contains things that have caused skin cancer in
laboratory animals. 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.
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 pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into
streams or bodies
of water. Instead, recycle it by taking 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.

When to Check and Change:
A good time to check your automatic transaxle fluid level is when the
engine oil is changed. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
when to change your fluid. See "Scheduled Maintenance Services"
in the
Index.
How to Check
Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may choose to have
this done
at a Cadillac dealership Service Department.
If you do it yourself, be sure to follow all the instructions here, or you
could get a false reading on the dipstick.
Wait at least
30 minutes before checking the transaxle fluid level if you
have been driving:
0 When outside temperatures are above 90" F (32°C).
0 At high speed for quite a while.
In heavy traffic -- especially in hot weather.
While pulling a trailer.
To get the right reading, the fluid should be at normal operating
temperature, which is
180°F to 200" F (82 " C to 93 " C).
Get the vehicle warmed up by driving about 15 miles (24 km) when
outside temperatures are above
50°F (10°C). If it's colder than 50°F
(10" C), you may have to drive longer.
