Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine What to Do with 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.
AIR CLEANER
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to replace the air
filter.
See “Scheduled Maintenance Services”
in the Index.
See “Air Cleaner Filter Replacement” in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
If the air cleaner is off, a backfire can cause a damaging engine
fire.
And, dirt can easily get into your engine, which will damage
it. Always have the air cleaner in place when you’re driving.
AUTOMMTIC TRASAXLE FLUID
Men to Check and Change
A good time to check your automatic transaxle fluid level is when the
engine oil is changed. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
when to change your fluid. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services”
in the
Index.
How to Check
Because this operation can De a little difficult, you may choose to have
this done at
a 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.

The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant when
it is low. If you have a problem with engine overheating, see “Engine
Overheating” in the Index.
The proper coolant for your Cadillac will:
Give freezing protection down to -34OF (-37 C).
0 Give boiling protection up to 262OF (128OC).
0 Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
Let the warning lights work as they should.
What to Use
Use a mixture of one-half clean water (preferably distilled) and one-half
antifreeze that meets “GM Specification 1825-M,” which won’t damage
aluminum parts. You can also use a recycled coolant conforming to GM
Specification 1825-M with a complete coolant flush and refill. Use GM
Engine Coolant Supplement (sealer) with any complete coolant change.
If you use this mixture, you don’t need to add anything else.

DOT4 silicone brake fluid can damage your vehicle. Don’t
use it.
Don’t let someone put in the wrong kind
of fluid. For
example, just
a few drops of mineral-based oil, such as
engine oil, in your brake system can damage brake system
parts
so badly that they’ll have to be replaced.
Brake fluid can damage paint,
so be careful not to spill brake
fluid on your vehicle.
If you do, wash it off immediately. See
“Appearance Care” in the Index.
Brake Wear
Your Cadillac has four-wheel disc brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched
warning sound when the brake pads are worn and
new pads are needed.
The sound may come and
go or be heard all the time your vehicle is
moving (except when you are pushing on the brake pedal firmly).
NOTICE:
Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads could result in
costly brake repair.

Using Solvent-Type Cleaner on Fabric
First, see if you have to use solvent-type cleaner at all. Some spots and
stains will clean off better with just water and mild soap.
If you need to use a solvent:
Gently scrape excess soil from the trim material with a clean, dull
knife or scraper. Use very little cleaner, light pressure and clean cloths
(preferably cheesecloth). Cleaning should start at the outside of the
stain, “feathering” toward the center. Keep changing
to a clean
section
of the cloth.
0 When you clean a stain from fabric, immediately dry the area with an
air hose, hair dryer, or heat lamp
to help prevent a cleaning ring. (See
the previous
NOTICE.)

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ALUMINUM WHEELS
Your aluminum wheels have a protective coating similar to the painted
surface
of your vehicle. Don’t use strong soaps, chemicals, chrome polish,
abrasive cleaners or abrasive cleaning brushes on them because you could
damage this coating. After rinsing thoroughly, a wax may be applied.
I
Don’t use an automatic vehicle wash that has hard silicon
carbide cleaning brushes. These brushes can take
off the
protective coating.
WEATHERSTRlpS
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last longer, seal better,
and not stick or squeak. Apply silicone grease with a clean cloth at least
every
six months. During very cold, damp weather more frequent
application may be required. (See “Recommended Fluids
& Lubricants”
in the Index.)
NOTICE:
Excessive amounts of grease may transfer onto clothing. Use a
light coating and wipe thoroughly after each application
SHEETMETAL DAlMAGE
If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or
replacement, make sure the
body repair shop applies anti-corrosion
material to the parts repaired or replaced to restore corrosion protection.
FOREIGN M!ATERL.IL
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree
sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, and other
foreign matter can damage your vehicle’s finish
if they remain on painted
