Driving and Operating 8-7
Competitive Driving
Competitive driving may affect the
vehicle warranty. See the warranty
book before using the vehicle for
competitive driving.
Notice: If you use your vehicle
for competitive driving, the
engine may use more oil than it
would with normal use. Low oil
levels can damage the engine.
Be sure to check the oil level
often during competitive driving
and keep the level at or near the
upper mark that shows the proper
operating range on the engine oil
dipstick. For information on how
to add oil, see Engine Oil on
page 9‑9.
CTS‐V Only: Be sure to check the
oil level often during racing, track
testing or other competitive driving
and keep the level at or near the
upper mark that shows the proper
operating range on the engine oil
dipstick.
For competitive driving, it is
recommended that the brake
fluid be replaced with a high
performance brake fluid that
has a dry boiling point greater than
279°C (534°F). After conversion
to the high performance brake
fluid, follow the brake fluid service
recommendations outlined by the
fluid manufacturer. Do not use
silicone or DOT‐5 brake fluids.
HFV6 Engine Only: Be sure to
check the oil level often during
racing, track testing or other
competitive driving and keep
the level at or near 0.5 L (0.5 qt)
above the upper mark that shows
the proper operating range on
the engine oil dipstick. For racing,
track testing or other competitive
driving an engine oil cooler must
be installed.
