2007 Cadillac XLR Maintenance

Take care of your Cadillac XLR and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your XLR has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get XLR maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2007 Cadillac XLR!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Cadillac themselves. 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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your XLR's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2007 Cadillac XLR problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2007 Cadillac XLR for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your XLR’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2007 Cadillac XLR. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Cadillac XLR battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your XLR stranded. Your Cadillac XLR won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2007 Cadillac XLR's engine run smoother. See Cadillac's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2007 XLR in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2007 Cadillac XLR.

Maintaining your Cadillac XLR steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Cadillac XLR steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Cadillac XLR's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Cadillac XLR maintenance, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C.
