Cadillac recommends having your 2010 Cadillac DTS’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your DTS may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Cadillac if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Cadillac DTS. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
