What Goes Into An Oil Change

Oil Change Procedure

Oil is responsible for cooling, protecting, and lubricating crucial components in the engine block of your vehicle. Without it, there’s a good chance the metal components will eventually damage one another or overheat. Since oil is such a crucial fluid, it only makes sense that it needs to be changed often. Fortunately, oil changes aren’t too expensive. But, have you ever wondered what goes into one?

Technological advances in oil have resulted in the retiring of the 3,000-mile rule, no matter what quick-change oil outlets say. All Cadillacs from 2004 and on come equipped with a standard Engine Oil Life System. The system is designed to determine the approximate life of the oil based on driving habits and environmental factors.

When you take your vehicle in for an oil change, the certified Cadillac service technician will determine what kind of oil your vehicle needs. They’ll then drain the old oil into a pan to dispose of it. New oil will be added after installing a new oil filter. The technician will then reset the Engine Oil Life System so you can get an accurate reading for your next oil change.

Stop into Plaza Cadillac to have your oil changed and vehicle inspected.
