    Anybody running amsoil euro 5w40?

    I saw some videos that showed the higher end oils like Redline and Amsoil retain their rated viscosity better over time. If you already shorten your intervals, it probably doesn't matter much.

    Doing my part! 😂

    I may be one of the filthy unwashed with an automatic, but I still have to concentrate with reverse. Even on the auto it's a forward motion unlike about every other auto since black and white TV days. It's probably for safety reasons but it kind of backfires when the expectations of 99.9% of...

    Cop told

    You say that, but my rear end was breaking loose with anything but quarter throttle during the rain in VA while turning. If you had to make any sudden maneuvers, you're going to be relying on the computer to keep you out of the ditch. It's a great car, but it can't defy the laws of physics.

    What do you do for a living?

    So as another old Army guy I read that as E-7: no starfish, E-8: one starfish, and E-9: two starfish. Don't get me started on how to decode the random morse code on naval officer uniforms. 😅

    2026 allocation

    You can setup your options on the Cadillac website and share that build code with your salesperson. That eliminates the need to physically go in and sit with them. Allocations are distributed to dealers on Thursday every week and they have maybe 48 hours to turn that allocation into an order...

    CT5-V 2025 CT5 Blackwings - have your dealer check oil plug on the front of the engine (Service Bulletin attached)

    If your loan is with GM, you can plow those points directly into the loan balance if you don't want to use them on overpriced items from GM.

    2026 allocation

    Get a printout or PDF from GM workbench showing your order as status 1100 (order entered into the system by the sales manager) and then 2000 (order accepted by GM - allocation used). It'll look something like this: Then the goat rodeo begins. Here's all the other status codes as your order...

    How about some Friday Comedy?

    I hope it sits in their showroom for another two years with that ridiculous ADM

    Low-Profile Ramps - Race Ramps Alternative

    Quick follow up: these ramps work on a 4BW with CF1 although they do slide a little bit when you first roll on. I assume the Race Ramps would be planted. At less than half the cost of Race Ramps they're a steal.

    5th gen V?

    This 100%. We don't have the substation or power delivery infrastructure to keep up with current demands. Adding 1+ EV to every household is going to create rolling blackouts across the country unless folks are OK with a 6-8 hour slow charge.

    CT4-V Brake ducts install

    They should be very similar to the Camaro. The recommendation is not to run them on the street because along with tons of air they also direct road debris onto the rotors and part of the install is removing the rotor guard leaving it defenseless.

    Help! Apex wheels clicking noise

    Remember the manual says 140 ft*lb of torque. It seems like a crazy amount but that's the spec. When I checked my lug nuts after the first couple drives there were a few that had loosened up a bunch. I'm not sure that would make a clicking sound but it's something to check.

    Blackwing Constraints Tracker

    Yeah it's great service we're paying for: 7 weeks to get the car 10 hours down the highway to my dealer because GM thinks truckers are too expensive. I guess we should feel lucky GM hasn't decided rail transport is too much and decides to move them by boat.

    Oil change warranty question

    You should also be saving the invoice from the oil and filter and maybe even take a picture with the invoice(s) next to your odometer. You are keeping a binder of all the vehicle's services right? Fill it up you never know when you'll have to defend the warranty coverage or prove to a buyer...

    Blackwing Constraints Tracker

    Here's mine. If you'd prefer a cell phone camera picture so it's more difficult to read, I can send that instead. ;)

    Fuse Panel Access

    Thank you. I can concur with others- that top clip is holding on for dear life and does not want to let go.

    5BW for 4BW

    Radiant Red is the correct color. 4 out of 5 doctors agree. ;)

    CT5-V Carbon Spoiler without Splitter

    Like the red seatbelts, the carbon is good for at least 5 extra HP. ;)
