How Often to Get 2016 Cadillac CTS Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2016 Cadillac CTS? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of 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 2016 CTS’s oil should be changed according to Cadillac’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your CTS may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock 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 terrain, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage 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.

2016 Cadillac CTS Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Cadillac CTS engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Cadillac CTS engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Cadillac CTS oil at home? 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 CTS exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Cadillac CTS oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Cadillac CTS oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Cadillac CTS to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Cadillac CTS 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 CTS? Every time you change the oil in your Cadillac CTS, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
