What is the recommended oil capacity and type for a Cadillac Fleetwood?

The recommended oil capacity and type for a Cadillac Fleetwood depend on the model year and engine type of the vehicle. Here are the general guidelines:

For Cadillac Fleetwood models with a gasoline engine, the recommended oil type is 5W-30 synthetic oil, and the recommended oil capacity is approximately 5 quarts (4.7 liters) for the 4.1L V8 engine, and 5.5 quarts (5.2 liters) for the 5.7L V8 engine.

For Cadillac Fleetwood models with a diesel engine, the recommended oil type is 15W-40 diesel oil, and the recommended oil capacity is approximately 8 quarts (7.6 liters) for the 5.7L diesel V8 engine.

However, it is recommended to consult the owner's manual or a certified Cadillac service center to determine the exact oil capacity and type 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. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended oil change interval and use the recommended oil type for your Cadillac Fleetwood to ensure the best performance and longevity.
