2009 Cadillac CTS Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Cadillac CTS, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your CTS could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get CTS maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2009 Cadillac CTS!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Cadillac, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your CTS's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2009 Cadillac CTS problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2009 Cadillac CTS for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your CTS. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2009 Cadillac CTS. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your CTS may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Cadillac CTS battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty CTS) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Cadillac CTS won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2009 Cadillac CTS engine. To learn how often Cadillac recommends you have the oil changed in your 2009 CTS, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2009 Cadillac CTS.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Cadillac CTS can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Cadillac CTS steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement.
