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 as part of the Driver Information Center
display (DIC). 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) or
one year has passed.
Engine oil life remaining
is displayed through engine data as the ‘OIL
LIFE INDEX’ and as a
‘CHANGE ENGINE OIL message. The ‘OIL
LIFE INDEX’ 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
of the oil life indicator was reset. When
the remaining oil life is less than
lo%, a ‘CHANGE OIL SOON’ message
will appear. This is a reminder to schedule an engine oil change. When
the oil life index reaches
0, the ‘CHANGE ENGINE OIL: message will
appear. This indicates that no oil life remains and the oil should be
changed as soon as possible, but certainly within the next 200 miles (320
km).
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 DIC.
On Northstar 4.6 Liter engine equipped vehicles a ‘CHECK OIL LEVEE
message will appear whenever the oil level’s approximately one quart low.
