Risks of Following Higher Mileage Oil Change Intervals

At Cable Dahmer Cadillac, we know from years of factory training and hands-on service experience that oil is a vital lubricating fluid related to the engine's reliable performance, efficiency, and longevity. However, we also know from years of experience in the automotive service industry that the #1 maintenance most likely to get put off until later is an engine oil change service. It is important to remember the risks of higher oil change intervals if you are considering putting off a much-needed oil change.

Worth the Risks? We Think NOT

Given the benefits of following the recommended change schedule and the consequences of higher oil change intervals, it seems like an easy decision to proactively schedule a vehicle's oil change with an approaching interval. When you schedule oil change service according to Cadillac's recommendation for your model, you can do everything in your power to avoid these risks of higher oil change intervals:

Engine Components Seize - engine oil that has broken down is a poor lubricant, which causes the operating temperature to increase. If the engine gets too hot, the internal components can seize.
Increased Leaks - inadequate lubrication wreaks havoc on seals, gaskets, plastics, and rubber components. Putting off an oil change will increase the risk of leaks due to wear & tear on these components.
Rust - frequent oil changes better remove dirt, salt, and other contaminants that rust higher-mileage engines prone to rust accumulation.
Wear & Tear - putting off oil changes causes the operational temperature to increase alongside the increased friction, which causes internal parts to accumulate wear & tear. Shortening oil change intervals is an easy way to ensure the engine operates with maximum lubrication protecting the internal parts.
Towing & Hauling - Cadillac SUV models involved in heavy hauling or towing will need to pay extra-special attention to following the recommended schedule for oil changes. Since pulling heavier loads causes engine oil to lose viscosity faster, you never want to exceed the factory-specified oil change schedule.
