2017 Cadillac XTS Maintenance

You want your Cadillac XTS to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your XTS has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine XTS maintenance. Just follow your 2017 Cadillac XTS maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Cadillac, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your XTS's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2017 Cadillac XTS problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2017 Cadillac XTS and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your XTS's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2017 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). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. 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. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your XTS stranded. Your Cadillac XTS won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
