2006 Cadillac Escalade EXT Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Cadillac Escalade EXT engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Escalade EXT’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Cadillac Escalade EXT oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Cadillac exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Cadillac Escalade EXT? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Cadillac Escalade EXT oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • What does it mean if my Cadillac Escalade EXT oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Cadillac Escalade EXT 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 Escalade EXT's oil filter when I get an oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Cadillac Escalade EXT, 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.
