Questions About 2017 Cadillac XT5’s Transmission

  • 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Cadillac tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your XT5 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my XT5's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2017 XT5’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Cadillac XT5 transmission fluid leak? Yes. Cadillac XT5 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.

  • Can I still drive my Cadillac XT5 if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your XT5 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
