What type of transmission fluid goes in a cadillac?

The type of transmission fluid required for a Cadillac depends entirely on the year, model, and type of transmission it has. Cadillacs have used various types of automatic transmissions over the years, each with its own specific fluid requirements.

You cannot simply state a single fluid type for all Cadillacs.

To find the correct fluid, you must:

* Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source. It will specify the exact type of fluid (e.g., Dexron VI, GM Dexron-III, a specific GM part number, etc.) recommended for your Cadillac's transmission.

* Check the transmission dipstick (if equipped): Some dipsticks may indicate the recommended fluid type.

* Use a reputable online parts store: Websites like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or Napa Auto Parts allow you to search by your Cadillac's year, make, and model to find the correct fluid. However, always double-check against your owner's manual.

Using the wrong transmission fluid can severely damage your transmission, leading to costly repairs. Always refer to your owner's manual or a reliable parts source to ensure you use the correct fluid.
