2000 Cadillac Eldo with 93k on it. Uses oil and antifreeze.

25

Asked by BadNorthStar Oct 05, 2014 at 06:05 PM about the 2000 Cadillac Eldorado ESC Coupe FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I've used approx. 5 quarts in the last 8k and always have to "top off" the radiator at that time.  I never smell coolant or see coolant OR oil under the car.  No coolant in oil (on stick or at change).  The tailpipes get blackened and so does the rear body moulding around them.  Doesn't overheat ... and has NEVER overheated in the 10 years I've owned it. The car is in good shape other than this .. which obviously irrelevant if it doesn't run!  TIME to shed it??

Ty Tom. Only have 93k on motor! Will check for for wet or smell after next run. I know there have always been overheating problems with the NorthStars but was THE reason I purchased. This my 2nd NorthStar after a '92 Eldo pre-Northstar.

Thanks Js! That thought was in my mind. Was hoping a "can of FixIT" was gonna' be given as "answer/suggestion/FIX"! LOL I love the car ... it IS my 3rd Eldo ... but I don't think what it'll cost to repair is worth it. Hmmmmmmmmm time to see what else I might like out there!! Thanks to all .... anyone interested in a "clean (soon to be gimpy) '00 Eldo? lol
