If your Cadillac dealer will do a six quart Dexos oil change, with filter, then it doesn't make sense to do it yourself. In my experience, most GM dealers charge around 60 bucks after tax. That includes an extra quart of oil, since the quoted price is for only five quarts of oil.
I like to do my own oil changes, using Mobil 1. I usually use Delco filters, but sometimes I'll splurge on a Mobil 1 or Wix. Total cost for supplies is less than 35 bucks per oil change at Wally World. I buy two five quart jugs of Mobil 1 and use the leftover oil at the next oil change.
When I'm in Florida I take our car to the dealer. A couple of months ago I did an oil change on our Buick Enclave, which was previously serviced by a Florida dealership. When I removed the oil filter, I was surprised to find a sticker on it with the dealership's phone number and a help wanted ad for service technicians. That was a new one for me.
It costs big money to service my Duramax at the dealership; it takes ten quarts of oil and they don't use full or semi-synthetic oil. So I do it myself and use either full or semi-synthetic oil, depending on whether it's winter or summer.
I once enquired at the dealer how much they'd charge to change my fuel filter, which has to be changed about every 15K. I figured since I was already there, it would be worth a hundred bucks to not get drenched with diesel. The service manager hemmed and hawed and made a couple of phone calls before he could tell me the price: $135! No thanks; I buy Delco filters on Amazon for 23 bucks, and I've learned how to change out the filter without getting too wet.
