Cadillac Maintenance Tips: Luxury Vehicle Care

If you’d like to keep your Cadillac running smoothly, regular vehicle upkeep is crucial. The following Cadillac maintenance tips will keep your luxury car purring along in wonderful condition for its maximum possible lifespan.

Cadillac Maintenance Tips: Luxury Vehicle Care

Check Tire Pressure

When tire pressure falls too low, the rubber flexes excessively, which can lead to a buildup of heat, potentially causing a blowout. When the PSI is too high, less rubber is pressing against the road, reducing traction, heightening road noise, and also creating a risk of blowouts. It’s important to carry out monthly air pressure checks to keep the PSI at the exact level recommended in your owner’s manual.

Rotate the Tires

Tire treads tend to wear down unevenly, which eventually causes problems and means you’ll need to replace your tires more frequently. To avoid excessive uneven wear, have your tires rotated twice a year. At the same time, you can have the tire alignment measured to make sure your wheels are still straight and parallel. 

Refresh the Motor Oil

You’ll probably need to have your motor oil changed twice a year as well. When you change it, ask the technician to inspect the oil’s condition; some drivers need to change their oil more than twice a year.

Change the Brake Pads

Brake pads are typically the first brake component to wear out. When one of your brake pads is almost finished, you’re likely to hear a squealing sound. You should also visually inspect your brake pads every now and then and have your car’s entire braking system professionally examined twice a year. 

Check the Spark Plugs

Spark plugs are vital for the engine’s combustion process and need to be replaced periodically. How long your spark plugs last depends on whether they’re copper, platinum, or iridium plugs. One of our technicians can take a look and determine how much longer your spark plugs are likely to last. 

Test the Battery

Without a strong battery, you won’t be able to start your car or use many of the vehicle’s electrical accessories. As car batteries tend to last from three to five years, it’s wise to have your battery tested once a year after it has passed the three-year mark. 

Clean Your Car Often

Cadillacs are famously stunning vehicles; to maintain your car’s elegant appearance, keep it clean and wax the bodywork often. As most luxury car owners know, the cleaner and better-looking the car, the more motivated the owner is to keep it in good working order.
