How Often to Get 1985 Cadillac Seville Oil Changes

Not sure how or where to get your Cadillac Seville’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Cadillac recommends changing your 1985 Seville’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Seville may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, 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, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Cadillac Seville. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

What Kind of Oil Should I Get for My Cadillac Seville?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1985 Cadillac Seville motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Cadillac has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best oil for 1985 Cadillac Seville vehicles. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. In an oil change service, a technician will change your Seville's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Seville by taking into account your driving habits, and odometer.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1985 Cadillac Seville

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Cadillac Seville? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Cadillac Seville engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Cadillac Seville 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 changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Cadillac Seville spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Cadillac Seville? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Cadillac Seville oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • What does it mean if my Cadillac Seville oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Cadillac Seville 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 Seville's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Cadillac Seville 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.
