Oil Change Q&A for Your 2012 Cadillac Escalade EXT

  • Should I check my Cadillac Escalade EXT motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, 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? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Cadillac Escalade EXT spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Cadillac Escalade EXT? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Cadillac Escalade EXT oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Cadillac Escalade EXT to illuminate? 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.
  • Does my Escalade EXT's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Cadillac Escalade EXT oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
