Your Guide to 2017 Cadillac XT5 Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Cadillac XT5 and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your XT5. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine XT5 maintenance. Just follow your 2017 Cadillac XT5 maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Cadillac themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; 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. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your XT5 perform better, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2017 Cadillac XT5 problems.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Cadillac XT5

Bring your 2017 Cadillac XT5 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your XT5’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2017 Cadillac XT5. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Cadillac XT5 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty XT5) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Cadillac XT5 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2017 Cadillac XT5's engine run smoother. See Cadillac's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2017 XT5 in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2017 Cadillac XT5.

Take an active role in maintaining your 2017 Cadillac XT5. Get answers to common Cadillac XT5 maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • When should I have Cadillac XT5 alignment checked? You know your Cadillac XT5 better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Cadillac XT5? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Cadillac XT5 engines.
  •  Why are my Cadillac dashboard lights on? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Cadillac XT5 in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
