How Often to Get 1997 Cadillac DeVille Oil Changes

Not sure how or where to get your Cadillac DeVille’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than 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.”

Cadillac recommends changing your 1997 DeVille’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your DeVille may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, 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, 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 DeVille. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

1997 Cadillac DeVille Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Cadillac DeVille? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Cadillac DeVille engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Cadillac DeVille 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 also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Cadillac DeVille 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 the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Cadillac DeVille? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Cadillac DeVille oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is my Cadillac DeVille oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Cadillac DeVille 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.
  • Does my DeVille's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Cadillac DeVille, 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.
