SERVICE AND
MAINTENANCE
CADILLAC SERVICE—Cadillac Motor Car
Division recommends that your Cadillac be
serviced at Authorized Cadillac Dealers.
These dealerships are equipped with facilities,
trained personnel, and General Motors parts
to service and maintain your Cadillac accord¬
ing to factory recommendations.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE — For owner
convenience, a separate maintenance folder
has been provided with your car which con¬
tains a complete schedule and brief explana¬
tion of the safety, emission control, lubrication
and general maintenance it requires. The
maintenance folder information is sup¬
plemented by this section of the Owner's
Manual as well as a warranty information fol¬
der also furnished with your car. Read all three
publications for a full understanding of vehicle
maintenance requirements.
Fuel Requirements
Your Cadillac is designed to operate only on
unleaded gasoline of at least 91 Research Oc¬
tane. The gasoline should also have a Motor
Octane of at least 83. Unleaded gasoline is
essential for proper emission control system
operation, and it will minimize spark plug
fouling, Fig. 5-5. The use of leaded gasoline
can severely reduce the effectiveness of the
emission control system and result in loss of
warranty coverage.
If the service station gasoline pump has a
symbol similar to that in Fig. 1, use unleaded
gasoline with a symbol number of 2. If the
pump has a label indicating gasoline in terms
of the average of Research and Motor Octane
[ r^M-]
as sf,own in pig j.j/
use unleaded
gasoline with a number of at least 87.
