2009 Cadillac XLR Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Cadillac XLR and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your XLR. 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 XLR, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2009 Cadillac XLR maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Cadillac themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your XLR running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2009 Cadillac XLR problems in the future.

Bring your 2009 Cadillac XLR to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. 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 2009 Cadillac XLR. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Cadillac XLR battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2009 Cadillac XLR engine. To learn how often Cadillac recommends you have the oil changed in your 2009 XLR, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2009 Cadillac XLR.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Cadillac XLR can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide Cadillac XLR steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Cadillac XLR's steering system with regular maintenance.
