Helping Your Cadillac Last Over 200,000 Miles

Tips on Making Your Cadillac Last 200k Miles

When we think about routine maintenance and making a Cadillac last 200,000 miles, we like the word “make” because it demonstrates the truth about vehicle maintenance - it is largely the responsibility of the drivers to “make” the car last that long. However, we also understand that the first responsibility is on Cadillac as the manufacturer to produce a vehicle with 200,000-miles of durability.

By following these tips, anyone can do their part in making their Cadillac car or SUV make it to the 200k-mile mark:

• Diligence with the Maintenance Schedule - If we could only make a single recommendation, this would be it - when your Cadillac is due for regular maintenance according to the maintenance schedule, get it done before the mileage exceeds the recommendation.
• Engine Oil - The automotive industry forms a consensus regarding engine oil and engine longevity; oil changes are the most important regular maintenance for any vehicle with an internal combustion engine. If you want to make your Cadillac last 200k miles, it is critical to install the recommended oil type and get the oil changed before exceeding the maintenance interval. High mileage oil changes can be harmful to your engine.
• Engine Air Filter - the engine air filter is crucial for protecting the engine and clogged filters can cause severe engine damages; keeping the engine air filter at peak condition filtering incoming air is one of the best ways to protect and extend the engine's life.
• Fix Minor Problems Fast - since we know that minor problems will only worsen over time and eventually cause secondary problems, it is always an excellent decision to repair minor issues when they show up quickly rather than put it off.
