1987 Cadillac DeVille Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Cadillac tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your DeVille’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your DeVille is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my DeVille's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Cadillac DeVille’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 DeVille leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Cadillac DeVille, 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.
