I just bought a new 07 escalade ext and had a couple of questions on oil changes.
When do I do my first oil change?
How many miles before each oil change?
Synthetic or non synthetic?
How many quarts of oil?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I just signed up and this is my first post.

Your owners manual will address those questions and I suggest that you follow General Motors recommendations. In addition most Cadillacs have a driver information sytem that will alert you to when an oil change is required. This system hss been developed to take into account all of the variables that effect oil life.
