1993 CADILLAC ELDORADO engine oil

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FUELS IN FOREIGN COUNTNES
If you plan on driving in another country outside the U.S. or Canada,
unleaded fuel may be hard to find.
Do not use leaded gasoline. If you use
even one tankful, your emission controls won't work well or at all. With
continuous use, spark plugs can get fouled, the exhaust system can
corrode, and your engine
oil can deteriorate quickly. Your vehicle's
oxygen sensor will be damaged. All of that means costly repairs that
wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
To check on fuel availability, ask an auto club, or contact a major oil
company that does business in the country where you'll be driving.
You can also write us at the following address
for advice. Just tell us
where you're going and give your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

ENGINE OIL
It's a good idea to check your engine oil every time you get fuel. In order
to get an accurate reading, the
oil must be warm and the vehicle must be
on
level ground.

etc. These letters show American Petroleum Institute
(API) levels of
quality.
