How often do 2018 Cadillac XT5 brake pads need to be replaced? It depends on you and your driving style. In general, brake pads last from 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Factors like frequent highway driving and smooth braking can help your brake pads last longer. Alternatively, riding the brakes and hauling heavy loads can shorten their useful life. Your brake pad replacement interval also depends on what kind of brake pads you have on your XT5 right now. Are you still driving with the same pads as when you bought the car? Not all brake pads are created equally. Some materials last longer.
