People hate the 3.6 because of chain slap but that’s usually only when the correct oil changes haven’t been done! I’ve had multiple 3.6 engines with no problems! Great video bro!

My cadillac dealer put mobil 1 synthetic in my v sport for free for 3 years under the Cadillac free maintenance plan because that's what factory fill called for. They have since changed it though to where it's only 2 oil changes now.

Another extremely well done video, as always! 👍👍 The only thing that I would have added is to be careful when replacing your oil filter not to touch the gasket area on any dirty surfaces while you're moving it into place. While access is excellent on the V-Sport, it's not so nice on other applications.

@nathanaelcole84664 жыл бұрын
Good video, I think it turned out how my video would if I did it! One small thing on the hand tightening of the filter and just snugging of the drain plug. You don't go he-man on them because the heat tightens it up. That does happen, but the reason you don't is because both these are designed as O-ring seals to allow for less torque and more variance in final torque. Big reason on the drain plug is the more common use of aluminum in the oil pan and the desire to not strip threads out.

For anyone talking bad about Fram, that was their bottom barrel filter back in the day. The ultra synthetic is actually one of the best filters on the market. I used to be a wix guy and switched to this for price and the better media/ design.

Hey question I have a 16 ATS V and just did an oil change put the recommended 6qts in and didn’t see anything on the dipstick so bought a 5 gal jug(on sale) and got a little crazy on the pour and put a qrt and a quarter in and now it looks over full in the video you say right in the middle of the crossed hash marks and once you check you’re at the top cross hatch where should I be at on these dipsticks lol I’ve always had fill or full on mine so I’m not sure
@JetFuelOnly9 ай бұрын
Top of the hash marks is max. If it’s beyond that you can get a fluid hand pump at the auto parts store and run a tube down the dipstick to remove some. Your ATS-V takes 7 qt total with filter change.
@Wisco_Ram_Page9 ай бұрын
@JetFuelOnly first off thanks for the reply you channel has been crazy helpful but do you think just a 1/4 quart over could make it that full I would say I'm basically at the top of the cross hatching(the higher one where its connected to braided wire) or just a little past it and do you think middle of dipstick between cross hatching would be more ideal

Hey, Danial, really like the video. My included maintenance runs out in a couple months, so this was very helpful. You scrolled quickly across the screen that our LF3 will need an "O" ring replaced...what does the O ring go on, and where do we need to get a replacement from? Thanks!

Nope! That applies to the LFX motor only. The LF3 no O rings to replace. At some point, you may want to replace the washer on the drain plug though.

You don’t check it. It’s a sealed system. Just change it at the suggested interval (I think it’s 75k miles - it’s in the manual). Special full procedure with special fluid, I recommend it get done by a knowledgeable dealer

A transmission shop can do the change for you but theirs no point in checking fluid level unless you have a leak. There’s a fill port on the side of the unit that drips when filled properly.

I use Mobile One & Valvoline Full synthetic on all my cars! I have been driving since 1987 and have never ever had an engine blow with those oils! I own 5 cars so I only change the oil in my CTS once a year since I only drive about 5-6,000 miles a year on her. That’s why I use Mobile One Extended Performance (which says 15,000 per change ) although I never go that far on any of my cars! Thank you for all the great videos. So very appreciated. Have any Videos on how to change out the tranny fluid and or filter? I can’t find any on the net or KZbin for a 2014 CTS 3.6 L (non V) It’s like nobody has done one for a 2014 or newer??? Very strange. Any links or help on this omg would be great. I really want to get it done but I want to do it! Like you I don’t want anyone touching my car! Thank you.
