The K&N replacement filter helps your 2.0L turbo Cadillac breathe better

There are few who would argue that the 2016 Cadillac CT6 was a major step forward in the revitalization of the Cadillac product line but also in American luxury cars in general. At the CT6’s launch, Cadillac attributed its new-found status to “creating a new formula for the prestige sedan through the integration of new technologies developed to achieve dynamic performance, efficiency, and agility previously unseen in large luxury cars.”

A fact that the Cadillac folks like to emphasize is that the CT6 is one of the world’s lightest and most agile full-size luxury performance sedans, with dimensions near those of BMW’s short-wheelbase 7 Series, but the approximate weight, agility, and efficiency of the smaller Cadillac CTS.

To make good on that type of claim, Cadillac created the CT6 with one of the industry’s most advanced automotive body structures, an aluminum-intensive architecture that incorporates 11 unique materials to achieve the desired balance of strength, performance, and efficiency.

The structural integrity is put to good use through an advanced performance chassis system designed to deliver an engaging driving experience through the use of a lightweight, aluminum-intensive high-arm multilink short-long arm front suspension. At the rear is a five-link independent suspension that uses multiple outer ball joints and cross braces for optimal handling and steering precision. Added features include Active Rear Steer, Magnetic Ride Control, and selectable drive modes.

There are three engines offered in the CT6: an all-new 400 horsepower Cadillac 3.0L V6 Twin Turbo engine offers 404 horsepower, a 3.6L single turbo V6 that develops 335 horsepower, and a 2.0L single turbo inline four cylinder that produces 265 horsepower.

K&N replacement filters are true drop-in products with performance gains

If you opted to purchase the 2.0L four cylinder turbo version of the CT6, you know that your Cadillac features rear wheel drive only (AWD is only available with the turbo V6 engines). If you don’t live in the snow belt, it’s not such a bad decision, as the four cylinder model weighs nearly 500 lbs. less than the twin-turbo 3.0L. If the 2.0L four weighed the same as the twin-turbo 3.0L, it would be giving up over a half-second in the quarter mile.

K&N air filters are manufactured from numerous layers of oiled cotton filter media, rather than air flow-limiting and easily-clogged paper used in many OEM and replacement filters. The oiled cotton construction not only allows for exceptional air flow but also provides excellent filtration properties to ensure your Cadillac’s long engine life. This is well-proven by K&N’s sophisticated in-house ISO 5011 filtration efficiency testing laboratory, which adheres to strict International Standard Organization protocols, ensuring that K&N replacement air filters provide a high degree of airflow without sacrificing engine protection.

The only maintenance required for a K&N replacement filter is a service easily completed on your own. At intervals of up to 50,000 miles (depending on your driving conditions) utilize the K&N 99-5000 air filter cleaning kit to clean and re-oil your air filter, bringing it back to brand-new condition and ready for another 50,000 miles of driving. Your one K&N air filter is designed to last for the lifetime of your vehicle, which K&N guarantees will perform for up to 10 years or 1,000,000 miles without requiring replacement.
