2006 Cadillac CTS CTS-V Owners Manual

Navigation System
Notice:   Too much or too little fluid  can damage
your transmission. Too much can  mean that some
of the fluid could come out and fall on hot engine
part or exhaust  system parts, starting a  fire.
Too little fluid could cause  the transmission to
overheat. Be sure to get  an accurate reading if you
check your transmission fluid.
If your vehicle has a  navigation system, see your
navigation system supplement for instructions  on how
to acknowledge the Change Trans  Fluid message
and reset the transmission fluid  life indicator.
Manual Transmission Fluid
Check the fluid level only  when your engine is off, the
vehicle is parked on a  level place and the transmission
is cool enough for you  to rest your fingers on the
transmission case.
When to Check Manual
Transmission Fluid
To check the fluid level,  do the following:
1.  Remove the filler plug.
It is not necessary to  check the manual transmission
fluid level. A transmission fluid  leak is the only reason
for fluid loss. If a  leak occurs, take the vehicle to
your Cadillac dealership service department  and have it
repaired as soon as possible.
2.
Check that the lubricant level  is up to the bottom of
the filler plug hole.
3.
If the fluid level is  good and your vehicle is a CTS,
replace the gasket and reinstall  the filler plug. If the
fluid level is good and  your vehicle is a CTS-V,
How to Check Manual
Transmission Fluid
apply LOCTITE
®
#516 or equivalent sealant to  the
threads and then reinstall the  filler plug.
Because this operation can be  difficult, you may choose
to have this done at  your Cadillac dealership service
department.
With either vehicle, be sure  the plug is fully seated.
If the fluid level is low, add more fluid as described
in the next steps.
If you do it yourself,  be sure to follow all the instructions
here, or you could get  a false reading.
