When to Change 1987 Cadillac Seville Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Cadillac Seville’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. 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.”

Your 1987 Seville’s oil should be changed according to Cadillac’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Seville 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 see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Cadillac if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Cadillac Seville. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What Type of Oil Does My Cadillac Seville Need?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1987 Cadillac Seville motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Cadillac has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best motor oil for your 1987 Seville. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, keep the engine cool, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During your oil change service, a technician will change your Seville's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Seville by considering your driving style, and mileage.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1987 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 components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Cadillac Seville engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Cadillac Seville oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Cadillac Seville exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Cadillac Seville oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Cadillac Seville 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 Seville to illuminate? Your Cadillac Seville oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Cadillac Seville? You should replace your Cadillac Seville 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.
