When to Change 1998 Cadillac DeVille Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Cadillac DeVille’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond 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.”

Your 1998 DeVille’s oil should be changed according to Cadillac’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your DeVille in the above table. 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 an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Cadillac if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Cadillac DeVille. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
