This factory service and repair manual is built around the 2008 Cadillac SRX exactly as it left the plant, so the torque values, wiring routes, and diagnostic steps inside match your engine and trim instead of a generic SRX-era approximation. Cadillac offered the SRX that year with two distinct engine families, the 3.6L V6 (VIN 7, LY7) and the 4.6L V8 (VIN A, LH2), and this manual carries the correct procedures for whichever one sits under your hood.
Engines covered
- 3.6L V6 (217 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
- 4.6L V8 (281 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Known issues on the 2008 SRX. No recalls are on federal record for this model year. Owners have still filed 47 complaints with NHTSA. The factory diagnostic procedures for both the 3.6L and 4.6L powertrains are here regardless.
Whether you're tracing an electrical fault, servicing the V6 or V8, or working through a routine maintenance interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2008 SRX.
