Not sure how or where to get your Cadillac Fleetwood’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Cadillac recommends having your 1983 Cadillac Fleetwood’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Fleetwood in the above table. Your Fleetwood may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Cadillac recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Cadillac Fleetwood. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
