Your use of gasoline with deposit control additives will help prevent
deposits from forming in your engine and
fuel system. That helps keep
your engine in tune and your emission control system working properly.
It’s good for your vehicle, and you’ll be doing your part for cleaner air.
Many gasolines are now blended with oxygenates. General Motors
recommends that you use gasolines with these blending materials, such as
MTBE and ethanol. By doing
so, you can help clean the air, especially in
those parts
of the country that have high carbon monoxide levels.
In addition, some gasoline suppliers are now producing reformulated
gasolines. These gasolines are specially designed to reduce vehicle
emissions. General Motors recommends that you use reformulated
gasoline.
By doing so, you can help clean the air, especially in those parts
of the country that have high ozone levels.
You should ask your service station operators if their gasolines contain
deposit control additives and oxygenates, and
if they have been
reformulated to reduce vehicle emissions.
FUELS IN FOREIGN COUNTMES
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.
To check on fuel availability, ask an auto club, or contact a major oil
company that does business in the country where you’ll be driving.
You can also write us at the following address for advice. Just tell us
where you’re going and give your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

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.
