The Cadillac CTS is a luxury vehicle that comes in three body styles: sport sedan, coupe and sport wagon. Check engine oil levels regularly. Unscrew and pull out the dipstick look for a yellow loop handle , and examine it. Before checking the oil, shut off the engine and allow the vehicle to set for a few minutes to allow oil to drain into the oil pan. The Cadillac Oil Life Monitor OLM system is not a simple oil quality sensor, but a software-based, algorithm-driven device that takes into account various operating conditions of the engine to determine when the oil needs changing.
Certain driving habits can affect the life of the oil, as well as driving conditions such as temperature and driving terrain. Lighter, more moderate driving conditions and temperature will require less frequent oil changes and maintenance, while more severe driving conditions will require more frequent oil changes and maintenance.

Outside of Cadillac-recommended oil change intervals, your CTS may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Cadillac recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
Cadillac has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your CTS. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine.
