2016 Cadillac ELR Maintenance

When it comes to your Cadillac ELR, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your ELR. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your ELR, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2016 Cadillac ELR!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of 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 ELR's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2016 Cadillac ELR problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2016 Cadillac ELR for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your ELR's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2016 Cadillac ELR be ready for a new battery? 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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 ELR battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty ELR) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Cadillac ELR won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2016 Cadillac ELR's engine run smoother. To learn how often Cadillac recommends you have the oil changed in your 2016 ELR, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2016 Cadillac ELR.
