What type of oil and how much should be used in a Cadillac Escalade?

The type and amount of oil required for a Cadillac Escalade depend on the engine type and year of the vehicle. Here are the general guidelines:

For Cadillac Escalade models equipped with a gasoline engine, the recommended oil type is 5W-30 synthetic oil, and the recommended oil capacity is approximately 8 quarts (7.6 liters). However, it is recommended to consult the owner's manual or a certified Cadillac service center to determine the exact oil capacity for your specific model and year.

For Cadillac Escalade models equipped with a diesel engine, the recommended oil type is 5W-40 synthetic oil, and the recommended oil capacity is approximately 10 quarts (9.5 liters). Again, it is recommended to consult the owner's manual or a certified Cadillac service center to determine the exact oil capacity for your specific model and year.

It is important to note that using the wrong type of oil or exceeding the recommended oil change interval can lead to engine damage or decreased performance. It is recommended to change the oil at least once a year or every 7,500 miles, whichever comes first, for gasoline engines, and every 10,000 miles or every year, whichever comes first, for diesel engines. It is always best to follow the manufacturer's recommended oil change interval and use the recommended oil type to ensure the best performance and longevity of your Cadillac Escalade.
