The coolant level should be at or above the seam inside the surge tank. If
it isn’t, you may have a leak in the radiator hoses, heater hoses, radiator,
water pump or somewhere else in the cooling system.
NOTICE:
Engine damage from running your engine without coolant isn’t \
covered
by your warranty.
If there seems to be no leak, check to see if the electric engine fans are
running.
If the engine is overheating, both fans should be running. If they
aren’t, your vehicle needs service.

NOTICE:
In cold weather, water can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, \
heater core and other parts.
So use the recommended coolant.

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 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 Oil Soon” light comes on. 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, you’ll need to reset your system. To
do that, turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position with the engine
stopped. Fully depress and release the accelerator pedal
3 times within
5 seconds.
If the “CHANGE OIC’ light comes on and stays on for 5 seconds, it did
not reset. You’ll need to reset the system again.
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,
0 F (-18 C) or colder. If your vehicle has this option,
see “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.
What to Do with Used Oil
Did you know that used engine oil contains certain elements that may be
unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer? Don’t let used oil
stay
on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and
water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw away clothing or
