Your 2018 XTS’s oil should be changed according to Cadillac’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your XTS in the above table. Your XTS may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.
