How Often to Change 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. 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 changing your 1989 Fleetwood’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Fleetwood may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, 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, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Cadillac Fleetwood. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Cadillac Fleetwood. Cadillac has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 1989 Fleetwood. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, maintain proper engine temperature, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine.

You can drive easy knowing that we strive to do what's best for your vehicle and take into account your driving habits, weather and road conditions,

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Cadillac Fleetwood? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Cadillac Fleetwood engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Cadillac oil on my own? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Cadillac exhaust smoke gray or blue? 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, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Cadillac Fleetwood oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Cadillac Fleetwood oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is my Cadillac Fleetwood oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Cadillac Fleetwood could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my Fleetwood's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Cadillac Fleetwood 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.
