The 2018 Cadillac XT5 requires 5.7 liters (6.0 quarts) of SAE 5W-30 engine oil, a top synthetic choice known for its versatility in various engines and climates. It is recommended to replace this oil every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. However, those with extensive daily commutes in heavy traffic may need more frequent oil changes. SAE 5W-30 oil is formulated to reduce friction, prevent corrosion, maintain engine temperature, and enhance vehicle performance. An oil life indicator in your vehicle will signal when it's time for an oil change. The average cost to change this oil in the XT5 ranges from $130 to $150, with labor costs making up $40 to $60 of that total.
