How Often to Get 2019 Cadillac ATS Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2019 Cadillac ATS? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 2019 ATS’s oil should be changed according to Cadillac’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your ATS may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Cadillac if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Cadillac ATS. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What Type of Oil Does My Cadillac ATS Need?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2019 Cadillac ATS motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Cadillac has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2019 ATS. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. In an oil change service, a technician will change your ATS's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your ATS by considering your driving preferences, and odometer.
