Maintenance is a critical component of vehicle ownership. Your Cadillac is a luxury vehicle, and you want to make sure that it’s in excellent running condition at all times. As such, you need to know about the maintenance that needs to be performed on a regular basis.

Schedule Oil Changes

Oil changes should be conducted every 3,000 to 5,000 miles depending on the type of engine that you have. As you drive, the engine oil is going to accumulate dirt and debris that can cause engine components to wear faster. Over time, it will make it difficult for the filter to get the job done properly. You will need the engine oil filter replaced and all of the oil replaced to keep your engine running efficiently.

You can check on the quality of the oil on your own by using the provided dipstick within the oil reservoir. You can also choose to visit our service center where we can identify whether it’s time for an oil change. Once you have your oil changed, we can establish a set schedule so you know when to come in for your next one.

Focus on Tire Care

Your Cadillac may go over a number of bumps and divots throughout your daily drive. This can cause problems with the tire tread as well as the overall integrity of the tires. Should you hit too many bumps, it can also affect your alignment. This means that your ride may not be as smooth as you have grown accustomed to. It may also result in your tire tread wearing unevenly.

There are a few things that you can do for tire care. Monthly, conduct a visual inspection of your tires to make sure that they don’t have excessive wear. You should also check the tire pressure to ensure that the PSI is at the recommended level.

Every 7,500 miles, you should have your tires rotated. This can be done at the service center so that it’s done properly. It will allow your tires to wear more evenly so that you don’t have to worry about replacing them any time soon.

Then, approximately every 10,000 miles, you will want to have your wheels aligned. This service can be done every other oil change, too. It ensures that you’re taking care of your vehicle and getting the luxury performance that you demand.

Topping off fluids regularly will keep everything properly lubricated and prevent systems from overheating.

In the event that you see a warning light illuminate on your dash or you see a fluid leaking underneath your vehicle, make an appointment. These are generally signs that there’s something going on – and it’s best to have the problem addressed as soon as possible so that it doesn’t lead to unsafe driving conditions or more expensive repairs later on.

Much of the maintenance has to do with your driving conditions. When you’re on rough terrain or driving through a lot of dirt and smog, you may need certain services performed more frequently. The best thing that you can do for your Cadillac is to bring it in to our service center on a regular basis. We can perform a multi-point inspection to identify any issues and recommend services based on what we see.

In the end, there’s a lot that you can do to maintain the value that you have come to expect with Cadillac. Make your service appointment today to keep it running its very best.
