Oil Change
Driving around with dirty oil – or not enough oil – can shorten the life of your engine considerably. Over time, repeated heating and cooling as well as the accumulation of particles can make oil thicker leaving harmful deposits in your engine causing extensive or premature damage.

Selecting The Correct Oil For Your Vehicle
Keeping an eye on oil levels and other measures of your engine’s oil is critical. Below, you’ll find a number of helpful tips to help you keep on top of your vehicle’s maintenance needs.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON MESSAGE
Most Chevrolet Buick GMC and Cadillac vehicles are equipped with an engine Oil Life Monitoring System (OLS) which takes into account a variety of parameters to determine when an oil and oil filter change is required. When the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message displays on your Driver Information Centre, service is required for your vehicle as soon as possible. If driving under ideal conditions, the Oil Life System might not indicate the need for vehicle service for more than one year. Regardless of the status of your OLS, an engine oil change and oil filter change must be done at least once a year and the OLS reset.
If your vehicle isn’t equipped with an OLS, consult your Service and Maintenance Schedule contained within your vehicle Owner’s Manual for proper change intervals.

Low engine oil pressure can cause extreme and costly damage to your engine. If this message displays, safely bring your vehicle to a stop and do not attempt to restart until the cause of the drop is diagnosed and corrected. Check the oil level immediately.
