When to Service Your 2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV Cooling System

It can be tough to know when to have your Cadillac Escalade ESV radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but it's still extremely important.

If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, the engine can overheat – or worse, break down.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. To keep your radiator functioning, Cadillac recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.
