You can always make your own threaded tube out of stainless steel tubing. Remember that the engine/filters combineations are sized to the fluid (oil) flow...

Just check with ebay. My friend's 97 Catera had a bad control unit too, and we got one for $35 from ebay and installed it in 45 minutes by ourselves. If you...

After many places told me that they do not have the right tool for Catera in San Diego, I finally have my oil change here. The place I went to does not carry...
Thats a pretty thick oil. I use that in my 383 Stroked Chevy Small Block that is in my Boss Hoss motorcycle. I turn 400+ ponies and cruising I turn 3,500...
P.S. The hotter engine is most likely because of increased friction because the oil is not circulating in the engine well enough to lubricate all the...
The recommended oil grade for Cateras is 10w30, using higher grade seems ok at first but in the long run you could get more problems by not lubing your engine...
Dont be surprised if the code reader that Auto zone wont read it.I purchaed a new one locally and while it will work on everything else it wont on the...

If it's in good shape, has all the bells and whistles on it, go for it...that's a good price. Also, get an extended warranty, too. I have the 2001 Catera...
As long as its got most of the options it seems like a good deal. See if the dealer will throw in an extened warranty.. never hurts to have some extra...
You should just buy my 2000 sport. It has all the recalls done, everything serviced and up to date, and I send it in monthly for an inspection. It also has 3...
