Scheduled Maintenance - Cadillac Escalade 2017 Owner's Manual

Scheduled Maintenance

Engine Oil Change
Change engine oil and filter when
indicated by the oil life system, at
15 000 km, or at one year, whichever
comes first. If driven under the best
conditions, the engine oil life system
may not indicate the need for vehicle
service for up to a year. The engine oil
and filter must be changed at least
once a year and the oil life system
must be reset. Your trained dealer
technician can perform this work.
If the engine oil life system is reset
accidentally, service the vehicle within
5 000 km/3,000 mi since the last
service. Reset the oil life system when
the oil is changed.

indicated by the oil life system, at
15 000 km, or at one year, whichever
comes first:
