* For the 4.6L Northstar V8: GM generally recommended using 5W-30 synthetic oil. Always check your owner's manual for the exact specification, as it might specify a particular GM-approved oil.
* For the 4.6L V8 (non-Northstar): This engine also typically used 5W-30, but again, consult your owner's manual for the precise recommendation. It might specify conventional or synthetic blend oil.
Crucially: Your owner's manual is the definitive source for the correct oil type and viscosity for your specific 2003 Cadillac DeVille. The information above is a general guideline, but the specifics might vary slightly.
