Hi all, Thanks for any input you may have.
I have a 2009 Caddy CTS with the 3.6 DI engine. The oil cap calls for mobil 1 and the Caddillac manual calls for the Corvette Spec. oil. I have heard of timing chain failures on these engines if using the extended OCI called for in the OLM (Up to 12,000-1 year).
Is Mobil 1 really the best for this type of engine or would something like Pennziol Ultra or Kendall GT1 Ultimate Synthetic be better? I currently do my changes at 6 months which could be anywhere from 2000, to 6000 miles. Overkill I know, but as for these engines, I don't like what I've read. I love it and I intend to keep it.
