Need more info about 1997 Cadillac Catera oil changes? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”
Your 1997 Catera’s oil should be changed according to Cadillac’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Catera in the above table. Outside of Cadillac-recommended oil change intervals, your Catera may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle 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, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Cadillac Catera. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
