Questions About 2016 Cadillac XTS’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Cadillac? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Cadillac? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your XTS is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my XTS's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Cadillac XTS’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Cadillac. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Cadillac XTS leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Cadillac XTS, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
