2008 Cadillac STS Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Cadillac's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Cadillac STS? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your STS’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my STS's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Cadillac STS transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Cadillac's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Cadillac STS? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Cadillac STS, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
