Oils with these words on the container will help you save fuel.
This doughnut-shaped logo (symbol) is used on most oil containers
to
help
you
select the correct
oil.
You should look for this on the oil container, and use
only
those oils that
display the logo.
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 vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
life index (EOLI) feature as part
of
the Driver Information Center
display (DIC). Oil change intervals are determined by the EOLI and will
usually fall at, or between, the
two
recommended alternative intervals of
3,000
miles (5,000 kilometers) and
7,500
miles (12,500 kilometers), but
could be shorter than
3,000 miles
(5,000
kilometers) under some
very
severe driving conditions shown
in
Schedule I. The system will also
indicate the need for an oil change if
7,500
miles (12,500 kilometers) or
one year has passed.
Engine
oil
life
remaining is displayed through engine data as the ‘OIL
LIFE INDEX’ and as a ‘CHANGE ENGINE OIC message. The
‘OIL
LIFE INDEX’ display includes a number between
0
and
100.
This is the
percentage
of
oil
life
REMAINING
based on driving conditions and
mileage driven since the last time of the oil life indicator was reset. When
the remaining oil life is less than
lo%,
a ‘CHANGE OIL SOON’ message
will
appear. This is a reminder to schedule an engine oil change. When
the oil life index reaches
0,
the ‘CHANGE ENGINE
OIC
message
will
appear. This indicates that no oil life remains and the oil should be
changed
as soon as possible, but certainly within the next 200 miles (320
km).
The
EOLI
will not detect excessively dusty conditions or engine
malfunctions which may effect the
oil.
If
you drive
in
dusty areas, change
the engine oil after every
3,000
miles
(5,000
kilometers) or
3
months
(whichever comes first), unless instructed to do
so
sooner by the DIC.
