When to Change 2021 Cadillac CT5 Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2021 Cadillac CT5? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just 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 2021 CT5’s oil should be changed according to Cadillac’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Cadillac-recommended oil change intervals, your CT5 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Cadillac recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Cadillac CT5. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What Type of Oil Does My Cadillac CT5 Need?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2021 Cadillac CT5 motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Cadillac has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 2021 Cadillac CT5 vehicles.

During an oil change, one of our techs will change your CT5’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle.

  • What can low oil do to my Cadillac CT5 engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Cadillac CT5 engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Cadillac CT5 oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Cadillac exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
