Scheduled Maintenance - Cadillac 2007 XLR Owner's Manual

Scheduled Maintenance

When the CHANGE OIL NOW message in the
Driver Information Center (DIC) comes on, it
means that service is required for your vehicle.
Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible
within the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible
that, if you are driving under the best conditions,
the engine oil life system may not indicate
that vehicle service is necessary for over a year.
However, your engine oil and filter must be
changed at least once a year and at this time the
system must be reset. Your GM Goodwrench
dealer has GM-trained service technicians who will
perform this work using genuine GM parts and
reset the system.
If the engine oil life system is ever reset
accidentally, you must service your vehicle within
3,000 miles (5 000 km) since your last service.
Remember to reset the oil life system whenever
the oil is changed. See Engine Oil Life System on
page 380 for information on the Engine Oil Life
System and resetting the system.
When the CHANGE OIL NOW message appears,
certain services, checks, and inspections are
required. Required services are described in the
following for "Maintenance I" and "Maintenance II."
Generally, it is recommended that your first
®
service be Maintenance I, your second service be
Maintenance II, and that you alternate
Maintenance I and Maintenance II thereafter.
However, in some cases, Maintenance II may be
required more often.
