2018 Cadillac Escalade Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Cadillac Escalade, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Escalade has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Escalade, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2018 Cadillac Escalade maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Cadillac themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Escalade running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2018 Cadillac Escalade problems in the future.

Bring your 2018 Cadillac Escalade to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Escalade's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2018 Cadillac Escalade. 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Cadillac Escalade 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) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Cadillac Escalade won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2018 Cadillac Escalade engine. See Cadillac's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2018 Escalade in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2018 Cadillac Escalade.

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Cadillac Escalade's steering system with regular maintenance.
