What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2011 Cadillac Escalade ESV

Your Escalade ESV’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2011 Cadillac Escalade ESV, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Cadillac's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
