1998 Cadillac Seville Questions & Answers

  • How much can I tow in a Cadillac Seville? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is.

About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Cadillac, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Cadillac Seville leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Cadillac Seville, potentially causing transmission problems.
