Make sure to start the car after the oil and filter change and monitor your oil pressure gauge . It should increase in pressure within seconds , if all is correct. ALWAYS lubricate gasket on new filter and replace gasket on drain in plug if torn or frayed. Great video!

It's too much, the oil on the dipstick should reach the BOTTOM of the upper cross-hatch area when checking a cold engine, somewhere WITHIN that same area if you're checking a warm engine, and of course NEVER above it! I own a 2010 CTS and that is what the dealership told me, he overfilled it!(oh yeah and it is 6.0 qts. total w/ filter change & all)
What is the cover on the oil pan with 10- 10mm bolts.? If removed can it be a good cleanout for oil pan? What is the best way to remove it now that bolts are removed?

You should have coated the new o ring With a little oil before you reinstall. I have two cars with these 3.6 engines and they both use oil. Just a bad design in my opinion. Should have used a 3.8 in these cars instead.

Where did you get 7.2 quarts from? My owners manual says it requires 5.7 liters (6.0 quarts)
AJ I had the same issue, perhaps this was for the V models?
Same!!

He was wrong.
Me too , but mine is the 3.0 L

I got my oil changed 2 weeks ago and now my engine splash shield is dragging. Do I go back to where I got my oil change.
My car has a splash shield. Necessary to replace every time?
7.2 quarts? I'm not sure of the engine size, but I cannot find anything from 2008-2014 calling for 7.2 quarts?
Yeah he’s just wrong
Here to leave my thanks once again !
Very very very informative!!!!👍🏾👏🏾

Another like and comment for you thanks for this video again!!!
Can I use royal purple fully synthetic for my 2008 Cadillac cts 4 awd?
Did the drain plug have a washer?
Thank you so much for the video and God bless.
*** NOT 7.2 QUARTS ***
6 Quarts is correct !
I don't have a transmission dipstick, how come? its a CTS 2008 V6
+Ale Romeo Your vehicle may not have come with one. Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
It’s under the car
How many quarts of oil need to go in the 3.0 L?
6
6
It takes 5.7 to 6 quarts it says it in the owners manual. 7 quarts would be way to much.
+Ryan Snyder Always follow your specific vehicle's owners manual. Thanks for watching.
They only need 6 quarts not 7.2 thank god i checked i almost baught a whole lot more oil if i went by your video!
Not sure where that 7.2 quart number coming from. These take 6 quarts.
+Edward Pate Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Time to change the oil again !!😂
I had dropped a piece of rubber inside my timing chain case and now my car would not start what should I do
+Leonard Blackwell We would suggest consulting with a reputable local mechanic for further assistance with this. 1aauto.com

what kind of filter is that? that is good for the 2014 as well?
+casey cole An oil filter. Yes the same oil filter in 2008 Cadillac CTS' can be used in a 2014 model
DO NOT ADD 7.2 QUARTS OF OIL!!!!!!!! YOU WILL RUIN YOUR ENGINE. PERIOD
THIS ENGINE TAKES 6 QUARTS OF OIL.
+rick courcy Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
