Milestone today, car hit 100k

[Kael]

Thats right folks. At precisely 8 am this morning, February 20th, 2009.
My 2004 Cadillac Cts, 3.6L has hit 100 thousand Miles.

[txbest1980]

well guess it is time for your 100K service and maintenance...let us know the total cost and what all you have done if you do it...

[Coma]

Time for a new one!

They say the 1st 1oo is hard the next 100 will be easy. Good Luck with her. God Bless, Joe

Oh screw the 100k maintenance. Thats just to line the pockets of the dealership.
I keep up on oil changes, have to change out the tranny fluid (the life meter says 48% though)
check the spark plugs, maybe replace the wires.

Its been a great car so far. I think the problem year was the 03's. The 04 and up seem to be good.
The engine still pulls hard, the tranny has nice crisp shifts.
I still get on average (highway and traffic) 25 mpg.

Congrats, but I'm going to beat this dead horse until the moderator makes this point a sticky...

If u have the stock airbox, lift it out and see if it seals properly on the air filter element.

You will being losing power soon if it does not seal as it should.

MANY 3.6 CTS's (like my 2004) have this problem.

Good luck on your next 100k miles.

Thanks for the concern but I have had a volant intake for the last 60 thousand miles or so.

Same with gas, if you don't put any in your car won't wear out.

What wires ?? I believe on these cars, coils are connected directly to the plugs.

Cute guys
A lot of the stuff listed on the 100k mile check up I can do myself. The things I can't I certainly will have checked out.

The spark plugs are all in great condition, I am going to flush the coolant system, bleed and replace the brake fluid, top off the power steering fluid, and I always keep the chasis lubed.
I do know that my gas filter is overdue for a change and I really need a new cabin filter.

What other updates are on the schedule or do you recommend?
