Can Cadillac drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

What are signs my Cadillac drivetrain is damaged?

Your Cadillac STS drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

How often should I come in for Cadillac STS differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a STS?

A multitude of problems can activate your STS’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you reset your STS’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your STS's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your STS.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my STS?

A drivetrain malfunction in your STS should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my STS drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your STS’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your STS forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

All About 2007 Cadillac STS Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your STS's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2007 Cadillac STS to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Cadillac's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
