Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service wax, you’ll want to get the
proper Cadillac Service Manual. It tells you much more about how to
service your Cadillac than this manual can.
To order the proper service
manual, see “Service Publications” in the Index.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list the mileage and
the date
of any service work you perform. See “Maintenance Record” in
the Index.

As shown in the viscosity chart, SAE 1OW-30 is best for your vehicle.
However, you can use
SAE 5W-30 if it’s going to be colder than 60°F
(16°C) before your next oil change. When it’s very cold, below
O°F
(-18”C), you should use SAE 5W-30.
These numbers
on an oil container show its viscosity, or thickness. Do not
use other viscosity oils such as SAE 1OW-40 or SAE
20W-50.
Energy Conserving I1
Oils with these words on the container will help you save fuel.
This doughnut-shaped logo (symbol) is used on most
oil containers to
help you select the correct
oil.
You should look for this on the oil container, and use only those oils that
display the logo.
GM Goodwrench@
oil (in Canada, GM Engine Oil) meets all the
requirements for your vehicle.
Engine Oil Additives: 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 vehicle is equipped with an Engine Oil
Life Index (EOLI) feature. Oil change intervals are determined by the
EOLI and will usually fall at, or between, the two recommended
alternative intervals of 3,000 miles
(5,000 kilometers) and 7,500 miles
(12,500 kilometers), but could be shorter than 3,000 miles (5,000
kilometers) under some very severe driving conditions shown in Schedule
I. The system will also indicate the need for an oil change if 7,500 miles
(12,500 kilometers) has been driven.
Engine oil life remaining is displayed through the Fuel Data center and as
a
“CHANGE OIL SOON” light. The Fuel Data center display includes a
number between
0 and 100. This is the percentage of oil life
REMAINING based on driving conditions and mileage driven since the
last time the oil life indicator was reset.
The EOLI will not detect excessively dusty conditions or engine
malfunctions which may effect the
oil. If you drive in dusty areas, change
the engine
oil after every 3,000 miles (5,000 kilometers) or 3 months
(whichever comes first), unless instructed to
do so sooner by the EOLI.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. Simply looking at the tires will not tell you the pressure,
especially if you have radial tires
-- which may look properly inflated even
if they’re underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back on. They help
prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
To make your tires last longer, have them inspected and rotated at the
mileages recommended in your Maintenance Schedule. See “Scheduled Maintenance Service” in the Index.
FRONT Use this rotation pattern.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation
pressure as shown on the Tire-Loading Information label. Make certain
that all wheel nuts are properly tightened.
See “Wheel Nut Torque” in the
Index.
