2013 Cadillac ATS Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Cadillac? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Cadillac ATS? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your ATS’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my ATS's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Cadillac ATS’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Cadillac. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Cadillac ATS leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Cadillac ATS, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
