Cadillac recommends having your 2016 Cadillac Escalade’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 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 vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Cadillac if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Cadillac Escalade. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
