Cadillac recommends changing your 2008 Escalade ESV’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Escalade ESV in the above table.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Cadillac Escalade ESV. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2008 Cadillac Escalade ESV

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Cadillac Escalade ESV? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts.

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 Escalade ESV exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
