Cadillac 2004 XLR - Manual (Page 320)

Scheduled Maintenance
When the CHANGE OIL NOW message in the Driver
Information Center (DIC) comes on, it means that
service is required for your vehicle. Have your vehicle
serviced as soon as possible within the next 600 miles
(1 000 km). It is possible that, if you are driving
under the best conditions, the engine oil life system may
not indicate that vehicle service is necessary for over
a year. However, your engine oil and filter must be
changed at least once a year and at this time the system
must be reset. Your GM Goodwrench dealer has
GM-trained service technicians who will perform this
work using genuine GM parts and reset the system.
If the engine oil life system is ever reset accidentally,
you must service your vehicle within 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) since your last service. Remember to reset
the oil life system whenever the oil is changed. See
Engine Oil on page 5-13 for information on the Engine
Oil Life System and resetting the system.
When the CHANGE OIL NOW message appears,
certain services, checks and inspections are required.
Required services are described in the following for
“Maintenance
I ” and “Maintenance II .” Generally,
it is recommended that your first service be
Maintenance
I , your second service be Maintenance II
and that you alternate Maintenance I and Maintenance II
thereafter. However, in some cases, Maintenance II
may be required more often.
Maintenance I — Use Maintenance I if the CHANGE
OIL NOW message comes on within ten months
since vehicle was purchased or Maintenance
II was
performed.
Maintenance II — Use Maintenance II if the previous
service performed was Maintenance I . Always use
Maintenance II whenever the message comes on ten
months or more since the last service or if the message
has not come on at all for one year.
