The 2010 Cadillac Escalade requires SAE 5W-30 oil for the engine. Cadillac advises using synthetic oil for better longevity and protection compared to conventional oil. There are two main types of oil available - synthetic and conventional. Synthetic oil is more advanced and offers extended durability and improved safeguarding compared to the older, petroleum-based conventional oil. With synthetic oil, you only need to change it every 7,500 miles as opposed to 3,500 to 5,000 miles with conventional oil. I suggest checking your oil monthly to ensure it's at the right level and free from any debris that could potentially damage your engine.
Cadillac suggests utilizing SAE 5W-30 motor oil for the 2010 Escalade, and they do not endorse any other viscosity grade of oil.
