Owning a Cadillac is about more than luxury—it’s about preserving performance, comfort, and long-term value. Proper maintenance ensures your Cadillac runs smoothly well beyond 100,000 miles while retaining its premium feel.
Start with routine oil changes, using the correct oil type specified by Cadillac for your engine. Many modern Cadillacs rely on synthetic oils that protect turbocharged and high-performance engines. Follow the Oil Life Monitoring System, but don’t ignore time-based oil changes if the vehicle sits frequently.
Next, focus on cooling system health. Cadillac engines are precision-built and sensitive to overheating. Inspect coolant levels, hoses, and radiator condition annually. Replace coolant according to the service interval to prevent corrosion and internal engine damage.
Brake maintenance is equally important. Cadillac vehicles are heavier than average, meaning brakes work harder. Regularly inspect brake pads, rotors, and brake fluid. Ignoring brake wear can compromise both safety and ride quality.
Finally, don’t neglect software updates and recalls. Cadillac frequently releases updates that improve performance, infotainment stability, and safety systems.
