When to Change 2024 Cadillac XT5 Engine Oil

Need more info about 2024 Cadillac XT5 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Cadillac recommends having your 2024 Cadillac XT5’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Cadillac-recommended oil change intervals, your XT5 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock 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, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Cadillac XT5. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What’s the Right Type of Oil for 2024 Cadillac XT5?

During your oil change service, an auto technician will change your XT5’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle.
