The 2017 Cadillac XT5 is available in various SRX different configurations, all equipped with the 3.6L V6 engine, so the oil requirement remains consistent for all models. You should use 6.0 quarts of SAE 0W-30 full synthetic motor oil for optimal performance. In case of necessity and when in a cold climate, you can use SAE 5W-30 as a temporary substitute. However, it is not advisable for long-term use as it has lower viscosity at startup, causing the engine to exert more effort to function efficiently. This increased friction can result in premature engine wear, shortening the lifespan of your XT5 compared to using the recommended oil.
