Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 Cadillac has an “Oil Life Indicator.” This feature will let you
know when to change your oil and filter
-- 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, 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine How to Add Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of transaxle
fluid to use.
If the fluid level is low, add only enough
of the proper fluid to bring the
level into the cross-hatched area on the dipstick.
1. Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the dipstick hole to
bring it to the proper level. It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less
than a pint (OSL).
Don’t ove@ZZ. We recommend you use only fluid
labeled DEXRON@-111, because fluid with that label is made
especially for your automatic transaxle. Damage caused by fluid other
than DEXRON@-I11 is
not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as described under “How to
Check.”
When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the dipstick back in all
the way.
How to Reset Transaxle Fluid Change Indicator
-.
Your vehicle is equipped with a transaxle fluid change indicator. A
CHANGE TRANS FLUID message will display on the Information
Center when the powertrain computer determines that the transaxle fluid
-
needs to be changed or at each 100,000 miles (160 000 km) interval,
whichever occurs first. When this message appears, change the transaxle
fluid and reset the transaxle fluid life indicator as follows:
1. Turn the key ON but do not start the engine.
2. Press and hold the OFF and REAR DEFOG buttons on the climate
control simultaneously until the
TRANS FLUID RESET message
appears in the Information Center (between five and
20 seconds).
