Change that oil every 3000 miles regardless. Oil is cheap, the main reason timing chain tensioner fails! I also did my transmission fluid at 40,000 miles in my ATS. Not a problem yet!🤞

READ BEFORE YOU BUY- I’ve had my 09 for about little over 3 years, put 40,000 miles on it (it’s approaching 150,000) and I’ve done most of the work myself to keep it running. Total I’ve spent about $2300 on parts and fixing it. Which in my opinion isn’t that bad for a newer car. Thats less than what you’d pay for 3 years of regular maintenance. But I will say a lot of these issues are due to poor engineering. The things I’ve had to replace are both front wheel hubs (awd model), radiator, water pump, thermostat, driveshaft with carrier bearing, alternator, all crankshaft/camshaft sensors (wasn’t necessary), timing chain, a fuel sensor that’s on the top of the engine (not quite sure the name of it), and regular maintenance (including windshield replacement and tires). I would like to mention that I let a multitude of those problems stack up over two years and the timing chain stretching is due to a neglected oil change. I’ve beat on this car pretty hard and tend to floor it everywhere I go. It’s not made for that. That’s why my driveshaft and carrier bearing was damaged and partly why my timing chain stretched. That’s $600 that I spent because of my hard driving. If you’re looking at buying one consider how much you’d be spending if you took it to a shop every time. A lot, especially since it’s a Cadillac. As someone who enjoys working on cars my Cadillac has been good to me. I don’t recommend it to anyone who doesn’t work on cars or doesn’t have the money to bring it to a shop twice a year. When things are maintained, less goes wrong. I haven’t had any issues with mine for over a year

Check to see if your radiator fan is spinning fine when the car is idling. If it’s spinning fine, then the issue is most likely a busted thermostat - it prevents coolant from circulating like it needs to, and turning on the heater bypasses the thermostat & cools the engine by diverting hot coolant into the heater core

NOTE about dealership oil changes.... THEY DON'T DO THEM. They'll take your car to the back, but 50 50 on weather or not they'll do the oil change. And in the event they do the oil change, they most likely WILL NOT replace the oil filter. I had a huge issue with Dealer when I proved this via dash cam footage. So don't be surprised if something happens to your dash camera while at the dealership. Sorry folks...... they are onto it now.

Yours is a 3.6L? Mine is currently. 3 1/2 years, second owner. I had oil consumption issues untill recently. I was suggested to ad a bottle of Piston Seal with my next oil change. I did that and now, the Oil Catch Can I installed one year ago, is dry for the fist time! Usually by now there will be 1/5th full of used oil. It is on the Low side. I done the oil change 2 weeks ago. I was going though a Gallon Jug of oil in 2 months time!!! I think a Fuel injector is going. I am at 113,000 miles currently. My next major repair is the Inner and Outr Tie Rods. Never been touched before. So for a now 10 year old automobile, This Cadillac holds up!

For older vehicles, yes, you can still use it. I used it in my 1995 Jaguar XJ 6, and I guess it was good for that. I use premium fuel for a long time. Thinkibg about that; my brother asked me yesterday if I use premium fuel for the Lawnmower. I said no, and he said it does better. I was recently thinking about doing that before we talked.

For the moonroof drains. I found out after floor flooded and took to dealer under warranty. Still charged me $400, to remove everything to pull the carpet & let it dry infront of shop fan for a weekend. The "duckbill" openings at the ends of the drain tubes, gets hard and doesn't let the water out. Go behind the plastic front wheel wells and cut the duckbill part off. This 60yr old g-ma did it. Just remove 2 or 3 push pins, pry the well open, stick hand in there, and cut it off. No problems since.

GM earlier. Most manufacturers are doing this now because if you make a solid car that will last over 300,000 mi then the car won't need to be replaced. This is not good for the car manufacturer because they would go bankrupt very quickly they need to make cars that are cheap parts that fail and tougher for the user to repair. It's basically strategy.

Pretty cars but maintenance hogs! My 2013 has had issues with overheating (I changed the thermostat, gaskets, and everything I could reach until I figured out the cooling fan motor burnt out. I replaced it myself.) The driveshaft bolts are weak by design and GM issued a TSB but no recall. Mine failed catastrophically and I ended up ordering another driveshaft from a salvage yard and ordering the newly designed bolts from rock auto. Backup camera crapped out on me but I haven't replaced it yet. Leather doorsill MELTED under my arm on a mid-70's day. I'll never own another one! I've posted many of the fixes and repairs on my channel. Only good thing I can report is that it burns 87 octane, but it gets marginally better gas mileage than a Jeep Wrangler...I'll NEVER own or recommend another to anybody!!

I have a 2011 CTS wagon with over 300,000 kilometers on it and have experienced only one major problem; The parking brake peddle broke and Cadillac no longer makes the part. I maintain the car regularly and keep on top of whatever minor issues occur due to wear and tear. I intend to keep this car as long as possible as I am very happy with it, and quite frankly the new cars on the market do not appeal to me due to the over the top technology in them -a nightmare in future maintenance…. As well, I think new cars ares way over priced as the quality of new cars has taken a nose dive in the last few years.

2008 3.6 full performance. ☆ Sunroof drains - cut duckbill off end of front drain tubes. Can reach them from inside wheel well splash guards (don't remove, just pull a few push pins). ☆ Drive shaft - mounting bolts loose. No thread lock on from factory. Caught it before major catastrophe. ☆ Fuel pump inlet tube - cracks at top where it enters the pump. Cause: factory cheap pump. The entire exhaust must be removed to replace it. I've seen numerous YT videos of people cutting an access hole to FP under rear seat, then making a metal plate to cover the cut-out. ☆ Now - I'm hearing clicking sounds like behind infotainment stack, (HVAC on or OFF, radio ON or OFF, car moving or idle. AND sounds like baby birds tweeting behind glovebox. LAST Caddy 4 me. Unless I hit a million+ lottery.😂

Some of the shuttering of the trans may be they have skid control on take it off and drive without any weird feeling in the steering. And my car had never had a good alignment from the factory so check that too.Then I use Lucas oil add with seal conditioners in it for seals but most of all the plastic chain guards. The guards get brittle and break. And I put some in trans. As for driving it hard I don't but I drive like a limousine driver from Chicago. It's a 2008 cts 6 that runs smooth. The leak in the roof can be fixed by two problems. One like you said run a plastic wire or blow put the lines with air. Two there towards the backwhen you open it up look to see on each side from the corner towards the center you will see a plastic tape that has come loose. I just got some silicone spread it around being careful not to clog the opening to the drain. They could have made this a bit better. The screen keep it out of the sun don't press hard on the face. On my video player at first the button for to play would not work so I found if I just slip in the disk and let it cycle it will go to play. Love the car love the look even as a 4 door it adds to the look. Had mine 4 years. Got it cus of these minor problems. The person had it at a shop but could not figure out the parasitic drain the was in the trunk light switch, it would stay on and drain the battery. I pulled the bulb and had their new battery they put in is still working even if I don't use car for a month. Great breaks. And I fly rc plane's and a 50 in wingspan will fit and two other smaller at same time if I want. Oh and I'm going to put in some iridium plugs for better fuel and running to see if I get better mileage. So basically give it a little respect she will do the same. And the v8 rear wheel drive get great gas mileage and handles well. Should I go on. The day I saw mine. It looked like new oh and the air in Florida was very important. And has worked great ice cold for 4 years now. My only beef is I sort of would like narrower tires , but that's just me.

2 timing chains later.... several Sunroof leaks easily resolved for the weekend warriors and for free but still a hassle. And most of all now a traction control and throttle body engine idle issue 😢

PLEASE HELP!! My AC is working fine but the temperature cannot be raised on the passenger side! I can make it cooler but not hotter! Why is that?

YOu may have already an answer, but this happened to me. It originated from water leaking into the center console due to the leaky roof issue. I had to swap out the console to fix this at $500 :( That darn leaky sunroof has been the bane of my 09 CTS otherwise a decent car as long as I ignore that stretched timing chain issue every 60K miles.
