Oil Change Q&A for Your 2010 Cadillac Escalade EXT

  • What can low oil do to my Cadillac Escalade EXT engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Cadillac Escalade EXT engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • 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. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Cadillac Escalade EXT spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does Cadillac Escalade EXT oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Cadillac Escalade EXT 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 Escalade EXT to illuminate? 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 replace my Escalade EXT’s oil filter when changing my oil? You should replace your Cadillac Escalade EXT during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
