Cadillac recommends having your 2018 Cadillac CTS’s motor oil changed at regular 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 knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Cadillac CTS. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

2018 Cadillac CTS Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Cadillac CTS motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Cadillac CTS engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Cadillac CTS oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Cadillac exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Cadillac CTS oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Cadillac CTS oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What does it mean if my Cadillac CTS oil light comes on? The oil change light in your Cadillac CTS could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my CTS's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Cadillac CTS oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
