2012 Cadillac SRX Maintenance

You want your Cadillac SRX to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your SRX. 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 SRX, 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 2012 Cadillac SRX!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Cadillac, your vehicle manufacturer. 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 SRX running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2012 Cadillac SRX problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2012 Cadillac SRX and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your SRX. 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 2012 Cadillac SRX. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Cadillac SRX battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty SRX) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Cadillac SRX could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2012 Cadillac SRX running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2012 SRX. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2012 Cadillac SRX.
