Questions About 2016 Cadillac XTS Engines

  • Why does my XTS’s check engine light come on when I start it? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your XTS firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why is my Cadillac XTS making engine noise? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Cadillac XTS engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage a Cadillac engine? [ordered-list-1-item-3-1]Are you unknowingly damaging your Cadillac XTS engine? Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.
  • Can I add water to my Cadillac XTS radiator? An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant.
