Replying to: cadi03 (Aug 13, 2008 7:54 am) Had same issue. Found out that I had a dead cell in the battery. Relaced battery and all is well since then.

Replying to: pao (Nov 13, 2007 9:35 am) I have to defend the dealer here. Just because the oil can 'last' 5,000 miles or more is not a reason not to change it earlier!! The other reason to change the oil is due to the engine's natural break-down - and particals will fall into the oil well before the oil breaks down. Many believe in changing oil no more than every 3,000 miles - no matter what kind of oil is used. So don't be so fast in suspecting foul play from your dealer.
#32 of 78 '04 CTS Battery Replacement-Wal-Mart MAXX group 78N. by irish3000 Nov 01, 2008 (9:12 am)
I just replaced my 5 year old battery on my '04 CTS-V6 with 131k miles. After searching several places for a battery, which had no listings for the CTS, I contacted the dealership to price an ACDelco replacement. This solution, $223.00 plus tax, sent me back to finding an aftermarket replacement. The Wal-Mart MAXX group 78N, 900 cca battery has more power, a better warranty, and will work without any modifications. The battery price and DIY was $72.94, 1/3 the dealership cost.
#33 of 78 2007 Making Noise when turning by junet Nov 12, 2008 (8:18 am)
Has anyone experienced a roaring/rubbing noise when turning sharply at low speeds? Also Tires worn out at 16,000 and I have rotated at every 5,000 w/oil changes.

Replying to: cadi03 (Aug 13, 2008 7:54 am) Hi, I have a 2003 CTS and same experience, twice already! 1st time is within the waranty period, and GM dealer diagnosed to be a bad cell in the battery. So they replaced it for free. Now when my car is not six years yet, the 2nd battery died yesterday. Have to replace a new one again.
#35 of 78 CTS-V motor oil question by aaseegs Dec 09, 2008 (8:44 am)
So I was listening to a lecture the other day and loved it but the guy told a story about his V-series car that needed more oil. He said that he was about to buy Synthetic because it looked the best but someone told him to look in his owners manual and in there it said that using Synthetic might cause the engine to explode.   I dont know what year car this was or which V-Series car it was but is it possible the story could be true? Would Synthetic oil cause any V-Series engine to explode?   My email address is rasberenacademy.org if you want to contact me directly. Replies to this message: c5orCST (Dec 18, 2008 8:01 pm)
#36 of 78 Vibration issue in CTS? by gator5000e Dec 10, 2008 (1:08 pm)
Has anyone heard about or experienced this issue with the 2008-2009 CTS? I was about to buy one but now I am not so sure.    http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-cts-forum-2008-beyond/119196-have-- - we-solved-steering-vibration-freeway-37.html    48 page thread discussing a mysterious shimmy problem. Apparently Cadillac knows about the issue and has issued a tech bulletin but has not solved the problem yet. See Post # 369 on page 37 of the thread for the bulletin.    Has anyone who has recently purchased a CTS run into this problem? Replies to this message: pao (Dec 11, 2008 4:58 pm)
