‘C When 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 
r 
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 
“loo”.. This resets  thle.,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 LE%  LEFT” 
message  appears. For more  information  on  the Oil  Life  Index  feature, see 
“Oil  Life  Index”  in  the Index. 
Engine  Coolant  Heater  (Engine Block Heater) 
An engine  coolant  heater can be a big  help  if  you  have to park  outside  in 
very cold weather, O°F (-18O C) or colder. If your  vehicle  has  this  option, 
see  “Engine  Coolant Heater”  in the  Index.
