2013 Cadillac CTS Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Cadillac's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Cadillac CTS? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your CTS towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my CTS transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Cadillac CTS’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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Cadillac CTS leak transmission fluid? Yes. Cadillac CTS transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
