Scheduled Maintenance - Cadillac CTS 2018 Owner's Manual

Scheduled Maintenance

Engine Oil Change
Change engine oil and filter when
indicated by the oil life system, at
15 000 km (30 000 km if equipped
with 2.0L L4 engine), 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.
