Cadillac recommends changing your 2016 SRX’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Cadillac-recommended oil change intervals, your SRX may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Cadillac recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Cadillac SRX. 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.
