When should I come in for Cadillac Eldorado differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

Is it possible to reset the Eldorado malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.
