I am looking into buying a cts on or around 2009. A mechanic you-tuber called Car Wizard does not at all recommend the 3.6l 6-cyl engine. The main engine problem I found is that it eats about one qt of oil every 2,000 miles and the "low oil" alert appears too late to avoid engine damage. I found this video because I am searching for more opinions and experiences, good/bad, on the 3.6l engine.

I remember that high oil consumption was on CTS 3.6 until 2007, the first model. I never heard this problem on the new 3.6 with Direct Injection.

The issue is the crankcase ventilation setup and location of the exit hole. The PCV opening gets splashed with oil and sucks it out to the intake manifold. They updated the cam cover gaskets around 2010 to create a baffle between the chain and the PCV opening to stop oil splashing directly into the airflow. It's an easy fix and the part is cheap. If the problem persists, drilling out the PCV hole or putting a little extension tube to slow down the PCV air flow also works. If Mr. Wizard knows his cars, he should know about this, it's common on almost all the GM 3.6's.

I have a 2009 cts , the part that holds the battery into place was already gone when I bought it, TWICE when I've hit the brake suddenly/hard a fire has started in the trunk near the battery, has anyone else had thus problem?? Also even after I get the part, what's to stop me from getting rear ended and the battery being knocked loose and...boom!!

@@biancocavaliere7451 guarda, io l'ho venduta qualche mese fa per passare ad altro, ma non perché non andasse bene anzi. Auto eccellente, americana ma molto europea nelle finiture, assemblaggi e dimensioni. Buon motore, affidabile, non ha particolari problemi conosciuti se non il solito difetto della catena onnipresente sui motori 3.6 V6...la maggior parte delle europee erano comunque stato oggetto di richiamo per risolvere il problema, in garanzia. Per la manutenzione ordinaria, chiunque può metterci mano. I ricambi sono semplici da trovare se ti affidi al web, si trovano anche in Italia ma a volte conviene acquistare oltreoceano, il prezzo è più basso nonostante spedizione e dogana. Consiglio la versione 3.6 in luogo del 2.7, la riconosci dal doppio scarico posteriore (singolo sul 2.7).
