Although the compact spare was fully inflated when your vehicle was
new, it can lose air after a time. Check the inflation pressure regularly.
It
should be 60 psi (420 kPa). The compact spare is made to go up to 3,000
miles (5000 km), so you can finish your trip and have your full-size tire
repaired or replaced where you want. Of course, it’s best to replace your
spare with a full-size tire as
soon as you can. Your spare will last longer
and be
in good shape in case you need it again.
Your anti-lock brake system warning light may come on when you are
driving with a compact spare. See “Anti-Lock Brake System Wa\
rning
Light”
in the Index.

NOTICE: -

of

Don’t use your compact spare on some other vehicle.
And don’t mix your compact spare or wheel with other wheels or tires.
They won’t fit. Keep your spare and its wheel together.

What Kind of Oil to Use
Beginning midyear 1993, oils of the proper quality for your vehicle will be
identified with this new “starburst” symbol. The “starburst” symbol
indicates that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum
Institute (API), and is suitable for use in your gasoline engine.
You should look for this on the front of the oil container, and use only
oils that display this new symbol.

‘C When to Change Engine Oil

Your Cadillac has an “Oil Life Indicator.” This feature will let you know
when to change your oil
-- 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 ENGINE OK’ message is displayed. 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
r
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
“loo”.. This resets thle.,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 LE% LEFT”
message appears. For more information on the Oil Life Index feature, see
“Oil Life Index” in the Index.
Engine Coolant Heater (Engine Block Heater)
An engine coolant heater can be a big help if you have to park outside in
very cold weather, O°F (-18O C) or colder. If your vehicle has this option,
see “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.
