Cadillac recommends having your 1986 Cadillac Eldorado’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Eldorado 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 see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Cadillac recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Cadillac Eldorado. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

1986 Cadillac Eldorado Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Cadillac Eldorado motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Cadillac Eldorado engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Cadillac oil on my own? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Cadillac Eldorado spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Cadillac Eldorado oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Cadillac Eldorado oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Cadillac Eldorado to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Cadillac Eldorado 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.
  • Do I need to change my Eldorado's oil filter when I get an oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Cadillac Eldorado every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
