Don't add anything to your oil. Your Cadillac dealer is
ready to advise if you tlunk something should be added.
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
k m )
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
k m )
or sooner if the CHANGE
ENGINE OIL message 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.
After
the
oil has been changed, display the OIL LIFE
LEFT message by pressing the INFORMATION (INFO)
button. Then press and hold the RESET (INFO RESET)
button until the display shows
"loo."
This resets the oil
life index. The message will remain off until the next oil
change is needed. The percentage of oil life remaining
may be checked at any time by pressing the
INFORMATION (INIFQ) button several times until
the OIL LIFE LEFT message appears. For more
information on the Oil Life feature, see "Oil Life
Indicator" in the Index.

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
QI-
bodies of water. Instead,
recycle
it
by takmg 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.
