Here’s Why 2016 Cadillac XTS Scheduled Maintenance Matters

Take care of your Cadillac XTS and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your XTS. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. 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 2016 Cadillac XTS!

Cadillac knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your XTS running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2016 Cadillac XTS problems later.

Overview of Essential Cadillac XTS Maintenance Needs

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2016 Cadillac XTS 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your XTS. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2016 Cadillac XTS? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your XTS stranded. Your Cadillac XTS could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2016 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 2016 XTS. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2016 Cadillac XTS? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Cadillac XTS can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Cadillac XTS steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Cadillac XTS's steering system require regular maintenance.

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 it time to replace the radiator in your Cadillac XTS? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Cadillac XTS? You know your Cadillac XTS 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 switch my Cadillac XTS to high mileage oil? 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 XTS engines.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Cadillac? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Cadillac XTS 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.
