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
(whichever occurs first) 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 krn) or sooner if the CHANGE
ENGINE
OIL 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, you’ll need to reset your
system. To do that, turn the ignition key to the on
position with the engine stopped. Fully push and release
the accelerator pedal
three times within five seconds.
The light should flash two times, then go out if
it is
reset.
If the CHANGE OIL light comes on and stays on
for five seconds,
it did not reset. You:’Uneed to reset the
system again.
What to Do witL Used Oil
Did you know that used engine oil contains certain
elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could
even cause cancer? Don’t let used oil stay on your skin
for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and
water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw
away clothing
or rags containing used engine oil. (See
the manufacturer’s warnings about the use and disposal
of oil products.)
Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all free-flowing oil
from the filter before disposal. Don’t ever dispose of oil
by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead,
recycle it by taking
it to a place that collects used oil, If
you have
a problem properly disposing of your used oil,
ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling
center for help.

~ Automatic Transmission -Fluid
When to Check and Change
A good time to check your automatic transmission fluid
level is when the engine oil is changed.
Change both the fluid and filter every
50,000 miles
(83
000 km) if the vehicle is mainly driven under one or
more of these conditions:
0 In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature
0 In hilly or mountainous terrain.
0 When doing frequent trailer towing.
0 Uses such as found in taxi, police or delivery service.
If you do not use your vehicle under any of these
conditions, the fluid and filter do not require changing.
See "Scheduled Maintenance Services" in the Index.
regularly reaches
90°F (32"
C) or higher.
How to Check
Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may
choose to have this done at your Cadillac dealership Service Department.
If you do it yourself, be sure to follow all the
instructions here, or you could get a false reading on
the dipstick.
NOTICE:
Too much or too little fluid can damage your
transmission.
Too much can mean that some of
the fluid could come out and fall
on hot engine
parts or exhaust system parts, starting a fire. Be
sure to get an accurate reading if you check your
transmission fluid.
Wait at least 30 minutes before checking the
transmission fluid level if you have been driving:
0 When outside temperatures are above 90°F (32" C).
0 At high speed for quite a while.
0 In heavy traffic -- especially in hot weather.
While pulling a trailer.
To get the right reading, the fluid should be at normal
operating temperature, which is
180 OF to 200 OF
(82°C to 93°C).
