Engine Coolant; Section 5 - Cadillac CTS Owner's Manual

$10araCTS Page 339 Tuesday, September 15, 2009 12:30 PM
The oil and oil filter change
intervals recommended in the
Maintenance Schedule for your
engine are based on the use of
recommended quality oils and
high quality filters. Using oil
other than those recommended,
or changing the oil and filter
at longer intervals than
recommended could reduce
engine life.
When the remaining oil life is low,
the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
(change engine oil soon) message
will appear.
See "Driver Information Center
Messages" in Section 1 for more
information.
After the oil change message
comes on, change the engine oil
as soon as possible within the next
1000 km.
Even if the oil life system does not
indicate that an oil change is
necessary, the engine oil and filter
must be changed at least once a
year.
After you change the oil, you need
to reset the engine oil life indica-
tor.
See "Vehicle Information Menu" in
Section 1 for more information.
If the system is ever reset
accidentally, change the oil at
5000 km since your last oil change
and reset the system again.
Engine damage resulting from
improper maintenance is not
covered by the New Vehicle
Warranty.
