How Often to Change 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Cadillac recommends having your 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Cadillac-recommended oil change intervals, your Escalade EXT may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, 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, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Cadillac Escalade EXT. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What Kind of Oil Should I Get for My Cadillac Escalade EXT?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Cadillac has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 2008 Escalade EXT.

2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Cadillac Escalade EXT engine? 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 excess heat, and eventually lead to Cadillac Escalade EXT engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Cadillac Escalade EXT oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Cadillac exhaust smoke gray 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. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Cadillac Escalade EXT oil changes? 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.
  • Why is my Cadillac Escalade EXT oil light illuminated? Your Cadillac Escalade EXT oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • 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.
