For correct operation of the low oil sensing system, the vehicle should be
on a level surface.
A false LOW OIL LEVEL message may appear if the
vehicle is parked
on grades. The oil level sensing system does not check
for actual oil level
if the engine has been off for a short period of time,
and the
oil level is never sensed while the engine is running. If the LOW
OIL LEVEL message appears, and your vehicle has been parked on level
ground with the engine
off for at least 30 minutes, your oil level should be -
checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to checking your oil level be
sure your engine has been
off for five minutes and your vehicle is on a
level surface. Then check
your dipstick and add oil if necessary. See
“Engine Oil”
in the Index.
CHECK WASHER FLUID - 25
This message will appear for a few seconds indicating that you need
washer solvent.
CHANGE OIL SOON - 40
This message will appear when you have used 90% of the engine oil’s
expected life, based on your driving patterns.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82
This means that the life of your engine oil has expired and it should be
changed
within 200 miles. See “Engine Oil” and “Filter
Recommendations” in your maintenance schedule booklet. After an
oil
change the Oil Life Index must be reset. See “Oil Life Indicator” in the
Index on how to reset it.
CRUISE ENGAGED - 43
This message will appear for a few seconds when you select a speed at
which to cruise.
ENGINE COOLANT HOT - 44
This message will appear when your engine coolant temperature is over
248” F (126O C). To avoid added strain on a hot engine turn off your
Climate Control system. Stop and allow your vehicle to idle
until it cools
down or the message is removed.
If it does not cool down, turn off your
engine and have
it serviced before driving it again. Severe engine damage
can result from an overheated engine. See “Engine Overheating”
in the
Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The Oil Life Indicator may say to change the oil sooner than your
maintenance schedule. This can happen
if driving conditions, such as
short trips in cold weather, cause shorter oil life. Always keep a written

The system should indicate to change the oil between
3,000 miles
(5 000 km) and 7,500 miles (12 500 km), but it may even indicate to
change
it before 3,000 miles under very severe conditions. It all depends

There are two things the system

It can’t sense heavy dust in the places where you drive. If you drive in a
dusty area, you should change your
oil every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or
three months (whichever comes first) unless the display says to change
it even sooner than that.
-- It doesn’t check how much oil you have, so you’ll still have to check for
that.
To see how, see “Engine Oil” in the Index.

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
