Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2020 Cadillac CT5 is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. To keep your radiator functioning, Cadillac recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.
