A CAUTION:
If you get gasoline on yourself and then
something ignites it, you could
be badly burned.
Gasoline can spray out
on you if you open the
fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen
if your tank
is nearly full, and is more likely in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
wait for
any “hiss” noise to stop. Then unscrew
the cap all the way.
Hang the cap inside the fuel door while refueling.
TO take off the cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise). Be careful not to
spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from
painted surfaces as soon as possible.

Outside of Your Cadillac” in the Index.

(API). Do not use any oil which
does not carry this Starburst symbol.
If you change your own
oil, be sure you use oil
that has the Starburst
symbol on the front
of the
oil container. If you have
your oil changed for you,
be sure the oil put into
your engine
is American
Petroleum Institute certified
for gasoline engines.
You should also use the proper viscosity oil for your
vehicle, as shown in the following chart:
