Hi all,
I just recieved a 2001 Cadillac Deville from an aging relative, sad when a man cant drive anymore. Anyways,he bought it with 40,000 on it,it just turned over to 70,000. Started the car and the low oil message appeared. He told me he had oil in the garage. He proudly has used Penzoil 30 HD.
No oil showed on the dipstick so I put it in and drove to the first oil change place I could find. Iffy Lube. I do all my own maintaince but I was 100 miles from home and wanted two change the oil now. The oil cap recommends 5-30 so it got castrol conv. motor oil put in.
Coming home I noticed a Iffy Lube sticker in the window and the car had an oil change less than a 1000 miles ago. Im thnking they only put in five quarts. Cap. is 8 quarts w/ filter.
Motor sounds perfect. Maybe an RX treatment and keep an eye on the oil.
Thanks in advance.
