2004 Cadillac XLR Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Cadillac? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Cadillac XLR? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your XLR towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your XLR is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my XLR's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Cadillac XLR transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Cadillac. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Cadillac XLR leak transmission fluid? Yes. Cadillac XLR transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
