2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT Maintenance

You want your Cadillac Escalade EXT to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Escalade EXT has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Escalade EXT, 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 2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Cadillac themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Escalade EXT perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Escalade EXT’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. 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 Escalade EXT battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Escalade EXT) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Cadillac Escalade EXT won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
