    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    I plan on being at the Morrisville C&C tomorrow. (It's actually in Durham, NC.) Will probably be there 8ish. Hope to be spotted & do some spotting! (But it's a HUGE venue.)

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Changed the oil/filter & the diff fluid (loooooong overdue). The diff fluid came out looking brand new.

    When Do You Change Your Oil?

    Coming up on 8% life for the oil on the Oil Life Indicator. Just curious when most people elect to change the oil & filter.

    CT4-V 4BW to C8, tempted

    There's an aftermarket solution for putting in a window on the tonneau -- Upper HTC Window | My Site Must add a clear engine cover (multiple sources for that) & then you'll have what the coupe offers OEM.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Got caught in the North Carolina snowstorm last night bc of a poker game. Had to drive home 60 miles through the white stuff. With the A/S Michelins, it was a non-event. I had to pass a bunch of cars on the highway & the only time it got sketchy was when an 18-wheeler roared by me & caused a...

    CT5-V Anyone else had the Infotainment not boot up on engine start?

    Have not experienced the Infotainment system not booting up. However, have had plenty of times when my phone would not connect with Android Auto to the car.

    CT4-V 4BW to C8, tempted

    Firstly, congratulations on putting so many miles on your 4BW. You obviously use it like it's meant to be. Kudos! I have a '23 5BW (delivered 1/2023) & '23 C8 Stingray HTC 2LT (delivered 9/2022). The C8 has MagnaRide, performance exhaust & GT2 seats. I couldn't get the Z51 package bc it was on...

    Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

    If you're looking at an Integra or M2/M3 as a comparo, then I think you should be looking at the 4BW instead of the 5BW. There are plenty of A/S tires available for the 4BW OE wheels.

    CT5-V Max tire size (diameter, width) you can put on stock 5BW suspension w/no rubbing?

    Yes. With the 325 on the 19, it would rub on the inside. The 6mm spacer brought it out enough so it would not.

    https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/absolute-dearth-of-all-season-tires-for-ct5-v-blackwing.5615/post-109453 I had to add 6mm spacers on the rears to avoid rubbing the inside wheel well liner.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Just back from the car wash. I've had her for almost exactly 2 years. Picked her up from Otto Cadillac in Albany, NY on 1/28/2023. Currently have 38,349 on the odo. I've loved every single mile.

    Decision Time, wouldn't mind the wisdom of the crowd

    The CF is an easy aftermarket add-on. The PDR can be added on later but at a MUCH higher cost & level of difficulty. All things being equal, I'd take the '24. Any warranty differences between to the 2 vehicles since the '24 is used?

    5BW burning oil

    I recently noticed I was 1 qt low. I'm at 25% oil life left. I know it was topped off correctly at the last oil change bc I personally know the dumbass tech very well since he also owns and drives the car. I was 1 qt low in between my last oil change as well.
