What To Do With Used Oil; Engine Air Cleaner/Filter - Cadillac 2000 Catera Owner's Manual

If none of them is true, use the long trip/highway
maintenance schedule. Change the oil and filter at the first
5,000 miles (8 000 km) or 3 months
first. Then, change the oil and filter every 10,000 miles
(16 000 km) or 12 months
Driving a vehicle with a fully warmed engine under
highway conditions causes engine oil to break
down slower.

What to Do with Used Oil

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
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 or bodies of water. Instead,
recycle it by taking 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.
