Thank you for your response Pao. I did not know about the 25%. I also am not familiar with GMOL. I looked on the GM and found reference to it but no meaning. Read More...

I just recently was able to make an oil change on my 2009 CTS. I wanted to do it before the warning came on in case there were any metal filings left in the engine after manufacture. Here is how it went: 1. Thanks to previous post, I did locate the oil filter canister next to the dipstick. It requires a 24mm socket (which I had to purchase as I did not have one that big). 2. ...

What is this crap I'm reading all the time here about "supporting the home team?" Why? So I can drive around in an inferior automobile? No, American car companies have a lot to prove to me before I ever purchase one. Their complete lack of innovation, quality, fuel efficiency, and reliability over the past 25 years has soured me to ever owning an American car, regardless ... Read More...

Written by: temj12 on Jun 02, 2009 07:16 PM

I am very sorry that you have a situation that causes you to have to consider this when you are happy with your vette. I now have my 2nd CTS. My first was a 2005 and this one is a 2009. I drove my 2005 48,000 miles. I had to replace my tires early; they were replaced at 25,000. At the 15,000 mile mark, I was hearing a roar. As it turned out, it was tire wear. I had been accustomed ... Read More...

Warranty for 2009 CTS

Written by: temj12 on Mar 31, 2009 11:13 AM

I just read in our local paper, The Tennessean, this morning that the government will only back the warranties for GM from March 30 forward. There was a column with questions of what if's and one of the questions was: Will the government back warranties before March 30? The answer was no. This is, of course, if GM goes bankrupt. I bought my CTS in January, therefore ... Read More...

I only have approx. 2800 miles on car (2009 cts awd 265 hp engine, auto trans) so I haven't really opened her up yet.

Meanwhile I'm enjoying the hell out of the car. I forgot how ... Read More...

Re: 2009 CTS Poor MPG [artmbgolf]

Written by: redgtconv1 on Feb 24, 2009 10:50 PM

I had a 2004 CTS and a 2006 STS, both with the 3.6L V6 and thought both performed well and had good gas mileage. In October, when I went shopping for a 2009 CTS I thought I would step up to the new 3.6DI. The dealer actually gave me the the car to take home for a 24 hour test drive. I immediately noticed 2 things. First the power increase was noticeable and almost more than ... Read More...
