Re: How are they???
What Kind of Engine Oil to Use
Oils recommended for your vehicle can be identified by looking for the starburst symbol. This symbol indicates that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). Do not use any oil which does not carry this starburst symbol. If you change your own oil, be sure you use oil that has the starburst symbol on the front of the oil container. If you have your oil changed for you, be sure the oil put into your engine is American Petroleum Institute certified for gasoline engines. You should also use the proper viscosity oil for your vehicle, as shown in the viscosity chart. SAE 10W-30 is best for your vehicle. However, you can use SAE 5W-30 if it’s going to be colder than 60F (16C) before your next oil change. When it’s very cold, you should use SAE 5W-30. These numbers on an oil container show its viscosity, or thickness. Do not use other viscosity oils, such as SAE 20W-50. GM Goodwrench oil meets all the requirements for your vehicle. If you are in an area where the temperature falls below -20F (-29C), consider using either an SAE 5W-30 synthetic oil or an SAE 0W-30 oil. Both will provide easier cold starting and better protection for your engine at extremely low temperatures. |

Re: How are they???
I have read on MSN Autos that the CTS with 3.6L is the most reliable out of all Cadillacs. I'm glad that I have exactly that
