Greetings. I took possession of my ebony/cashmere 2007 XLR on Saturday. I'm having a blast. What a head-turner! The first question asked is "what kind of car is THAT?"
When I inspected it the previous week I noticed that the left front wheel had what appeared to be epoxy splattered on it. The seller agreed to replace the wheel with a spare that he had (he has owned several XLRs). The SVC TIRE MONITOR message popped up on the way home. I'll take it to the local Cadillac dealer tomorrow to get the sensor registered. The seller said that he will foot the bill.
I have no service records for this vehicle so I plan to have the oil and filter changed. Is Mobil 1 the oil of choice?
Is there anything else I should have the dealer check?
I am certainly glad to find this site. I will find it invaluable during my XLR "journey".
