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.

company that does business in the country where you’ll be driving.

Don’t add anything to your oil. Your Cadillac dealer is ready to advise if
you think something should be added.
Men to Change Engine Oil
Your Cadillac has an “Oil Life Indicator.” This feature will let you know
when to change your oil
-- 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
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 OK’ message is displayed. Remember to reset the
‘ ’
Oil Life Indicator when the oil has been changed. For more information,
see
“Oil Life Indicator” in the Index.

How to Reset the Oil Life Indicator
After the oil has been changed, display the “OIL LIFE LEFT” message
by pressing the INFORMATION button. Then press and hold the
RESET button until the display shows “100”. 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 button several times until the “OIL LIFE LEFT”
message appears. For more information on the Oil Life Index feature, see
-
“Oil Life Index” in the Index.

very cold weather,
0°F (-18°C) or colder. If your vehicle has this option,
see “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.
