1988 Cadillac Fleetwood Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Cadillac Fleetwood? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Cadillac Fleetwood engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Cadillac Fleetwood oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. 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 Fleetwood spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Cadillac Fleetwood oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Cadillac Fleetwood oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Cadillac Fleetwood to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Cadillac Fleetwood 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.
  • Do I need to replace my Fleetwood’s oil filter when changing my oil? Every time you change the oil in your Cadillac Fleetwood, 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.
