Cadillac recommends having your 2016 Cadillac ATS’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your ATS may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

2016 Cadillac ATS Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Cadillac ATS? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your ATS’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Cadillac oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Cadillac exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Cadillac ATS? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Cadillac ATS oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Cadillac ATS? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Cadillac ATS oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Cadillac ATS? You should replace your Cadillac ATS during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
