All About 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV Drivetrain Service

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 tune into you 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV drivetrain, you help maintain your vehicle’s overall power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Cadillac's recommendations.
