Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard.

Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.

If your radiator sounds like it's boiling or rumbling, you could have air pockets in the cooling system of your XT6. You might also have a damaged radiator cap (super easy to fix!) or a clogged radiator.

Should I be concerned about rust in my XT6 radiator?

Yes. Having rust in your Cadillac XT6 radiator can cause leaks, a reduction in cooling efficiency, and even radiator failure. If rust is left untreated, it can corrode the radiator's cooling passages, causing small cracks or holes that can significantly impact the radiator's ability to function. To help prevent rust from becoming a major issue, it's important to properly maintain your radiator system.

When to Service Your 2023 Cadillac XT6 Cooling System

It can be tough to know when to have your Cadillac XT6 radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction. As part of your car’s cooling system, your radiator helps keep engine temperature regulated. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, the engine can overheat – or worse, break down.

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2023 Cadillac XT6 is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. To keep your radiator functioning, Cadillac recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.

Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check at the first sign of one of these issues.
