Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2006 Cadillac CTS? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond 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 2006 CTS’s oil should be changed according to Cadillac’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your CTS in the above table. Outside of Cadillac-recommended oil change intervals, your CTS may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Cadillac recommends if you 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 CTS. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2006 Cadillac CTS motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Cadillac has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 2006 CTS. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your CTS's oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your CTS by considering your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.
