Why check the motor oil level in my Cadillac XT5?

Can I change my Cadillac oil on my own?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. 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 XT5 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

Do I need to change my XT5's oil filter when I get an oil change?

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?

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Cadillac XT5. Cadillac has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best motor oil for your 2024 XT5. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. 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. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your XT5 by taking into account your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.
