2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT Maintenance

Take care of your Cadillac Escalade EXT and it'll take care of you. With proactive 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? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Escalade EXT maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Cadillac, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Escalade EXT running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Escalade EXT. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Escalade EXT may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Cadillac Escalade EXT battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Cadillac Escalade EXT won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT running newer, longer. See Cadillac's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2008 Escalade EXT in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT.

Components within your Cadillac Escalade EXT's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Cadillac Escalade EXT services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C.
