For the Cadillac XT4, the first maintenance interval is 5,000 kilometers. After that, the regular maintenance interval is set at approximately 7,500 kilometers for minor services. When the vehicle reaches around 100,000 kilometers, a major maintenance service is required. Details are as follows: 1. Precautions: When the Cadillac XT4 reaches its maintenance interval, remind the service personnel during maintenance to ensure the car's air conditioning system is not exposed to moisture, the engine oil is at the appropriate level, the brake pads are checked for wear limits, and the fuel lines are unobstructed, among other issues. Many service personnel might overlook certain aspects during maintenance. 2. Replacement Parts: The Cadillac XT4 has a maintenance interval of 7,500 kilometers per service. Typically, only minor maintenance is performed, which involves changing the engine oil and oil filter. However, at certain mileage milestones, additional components need replacement, such as the air filter, spark plugs or ignition wires, fuel filter, and cabin air filter.

I run a repair shop, and for the Cadillac XT4 maintenance, it really depends on how you drive it. The first service must be done within the first 5,000 kilometers or 6 months for a new car—don’t skimp on this. After that, it’s generally recommended to do minor maintenance every 7,500-10,000 kilometers or once a year, with an oil and oil filter change being the basics. If you’re driving on construction sites daily or stuck in city traffic, it’s best to check it at 5,000 kilometers. Replace the air filter every 15,000 kilometers, and the cabin air filter usually every other maintenance depending on the condition. Test the brake fluid’s water content every 2 years, and the coolant should be replaced every 3 years. A major service is due at 60,000 kilometers, where the transmission fluid, spark plugs, and more need to be checked. Remember, the manual’s recommendations are just guidelines—what matters most is your actual driving intensity.

My XT4 just turned two years old, and I've figured out the maintenance routine. After the first service, I basically go to the 4S shop every 8,000 km for a full synthetic oil change with the Silver Mobil 1 package at 988 RMB. I buy the MANN cabin air filters online and replace them myself, saving over 200 RMB. The 4S always recommends cleaning the throttle body and fuel system, but actually doing it every 20,000 km is sufficient. I rotate the tires every other maintenance visit to ensure even wear on all four tires. Remember to have the mechanic measure the brake pad thickness during each service - they should last at least 60,000 km with city driving. The most surprising thing was the wiper blades - the OEM ones lasted a full year and a half before needing replacement, much more durable than aftermarket parts. Don't blindly follow the maintenance manual; adjust according to your actual driving habits for the most practical approach.

Cadillac's official maintenance schedule for the XT4 is quite clear: basic maintenance is required every 10,000 kilometers or 1 year, whichever comes first. However, there are three special circumstances to note: First, for frequent short-distance driving (single trips under 8 kilometers), it is recommended to reduce the maintenance interval by 30%. Second, for long-term driving in dusty environments, the air filter should be checked at every maintenance. Third, for those who frequently engage in aggressive driving, engine oil should be changed at 7,000 kilometers. After the first maintenance, the cabin air filter should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers, brake fluid checked at 40,000 kilometers, and transfer case oil and differential oil should be thoroughly inspected at 60,000 kilometers. Engines with cylinder deactivation technology require timely oil changes to prevent carbon buildup.

Is it necessary to turn off the engine when parking for three or four minutes?

It is necessary to turn off the engine when parking for three or four minutes. Reasons for turning off the engine when parking: Temporarily turning off the engine while parking is beneficial as it saves fuel and contributes to environmental protection. If the parking time exceeds 1 minute, the engine should be turned off. Generally, the fuel consumed by idling in small cars is more than the fuel consumed by restarting. For automatic transmission vehicles, if the expected parking time exceeds 0.5 minutes and you do not want to turn off the engine, the gear should be placed in N (Neutral); if the parking time is longer, the engine should be turned off. Harm to the environment from parking without turning off the engine: Theoretically, turning off the engine after 3 minutes of parking does help in controlling air pollution, but it is difficult to implement. The current difficulty in implementing the 3-minute parking engine-off rule is due to two scenarios where people are reluctant to turn off the engine. One is during hot summer days when prolonged parking for unloading or waiting requires the use of air conditioning; the other is at traffic lights, where drivers worry about slow engine restart and choose not to turn it off.

What does rental car coverage mean?

Rental car coverage refers to the rental car expense insurance. Rental car expense insurance is a type of insurance where, if the insured vehicle is damaged due to collisions, overturns, etc., requiring it to be sent for repairs, and the insured needs to pay for a rental car, the insurer will compensate based on the agreed coverage limit. Rental car expense insurance is an add-on to vehicle damage insurance, so it cannot be purchased separately. It must be added on top of an existing vehicle damage insurance policy. After purchasing rental car expense insurance, if you need to file a claim with the insurer, you must prepare the insurance policy, the insured's ID card, the insured vehicle's registration certificate, the driver's license, and the rental car expense receipts. Additionally, you will need to provide a traffic accident liability determination certificate or an agreement documenting the traffic accident as per the "Traffic Accident Handling Procedures." However, the insurer will not cover rental car expenses if the vehicle is confiscated, impounded, or seized. Similarly, if the vehicle requires re-repair due to substandard repair quality, leading to continued rental car expenses, the insurer will not provide compensation.
