1994 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD recommended oil

I
Once you are moving on the freeway, make certain you allow a
reasonable following distance. Expect to move slightly slower at night.
When you want to leave the freeway, move to the proper lane well in
advance.
If you miss your exit do not, under any circumstances, stop and
back up. Drive on to the next exit.
The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply.
The exit speed is usually posted.
Reduce your speed according to your speedometer, not to your sense of
motion. After driving for any distance at higher speeds, you may tend to
think you are going slower than you actually are.
BEFORE LEAWNG ONA LONG TMP
Make sure you’re ready. Try to be well rested. If you must start when
you’re not fresh
-- such as after a day’s work -- don’t plan to make too
many,miles that first part of the journey. Wear comfortable clothing and
shoes you can easily drive in.
Is your vehicle ready for a long.trip? If you keep it serviced and
maintained, it’s ready to go.
If it needs service, have it done before
starting out. Of course, you’ll find experienced and able service experts
in
Cadillac dealerships all across North America. They’ll be ready and
willing to help if you need it.
Here are some things you can check before a trip:
Windshield Washer Fluid: Is the reservoir full? Are all windows clean
Wiper Blades: Are they in good shape?
Fuel, EnEine Oil. Other Fluids: Have you checked all levels?
Lights: Are they all working? Are the lenses clean?
inside
and outside?
Tires: They are vitally important to a safe, trouble-free trip. Is the
tread good enough for long-distance driving?
Are the tires all inflated
to the recommended pressure?

LABELS
IF NEITHER SAE 5W-30 NOR SAE 1OW-30
GRADE OILS ARE AVAILABLE, SAE 30 GRADE MAY BE USED AT TEMPERATURES
ABOVE 40 DEGREES F (4 DEGREES C).
ANY OTHER GRADE OIL NOT RECOMMENDED DO NOT USE SAE 1OW-40, SAE 20W-50 OR
As shown in the chart, SAE 5W-30 is best for your vehicle. However, you
can use
SAE 1OW-30 if it’s going to be 0°F (-18OC) or above. These
numbers on an oil container show its viscosity, or thickness.
Do not use
other viscosity oils, such as
SAE 1OW-40 or SAE 20W-50.
If you cannot find oils with the new “starburst” symbol on the front of the
container, you should look for and use oils containing the following three

I NOTICE: I
Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on a
basecoat/clearcoat paint finish may dull the finish or leave swirl
marks.
NOTICE:
Using certain glass cleaners ,and cleaning solvents on plastic
lenses can produce stress cracks. Use only a mild detergent and
water to clean these lenses.
WHITE SIDEWALL TIRES
Your Cadillac dealer has a GM White Sidewall Tire Cleaner. You can use
a stiff brush with the cleaner.
WEATHERSTRIPS
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last longer, seal better,
and not stick or squeak. Apply silicone grease with a clean cloth at least
every six months. During very cold, damp weather more frequent
application may be required. (See “Recommended Fluids
& Lubricants”
in the Index.)
SHEETMETAL DMGE
If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or
replacement, make sure the body repair shop applies anti-corrosion
material to the parts repaired or replaced to restore corrosion protection.
FOREIGN MATERLAL,
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree
sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, and other
foreign matter can damage your vehicle’s finish if they remain on painted
