2014 Cadillac XTS Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Cadillac XTS, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your XTS. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your XTS, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2014 Cadillac XTS!

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, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your XTS running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2014 Cadillac XTS problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2014 Cadillac XTS and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your XTS’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2014 Cadillac XTS. 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your XTS may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Cadillac XTS battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty XTS) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Cadillac XTS 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 support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2014 Cadillac XTS running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2014 XTS. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 2014 Cadillac XTS.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Cadillac XTS 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, perform Cadillac XTS suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Cadillac XTS's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Cadillac XTS services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Cadillac XTS engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is your Cadillac XTS radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too.
