Consumer Review Video - 1999 Cadillac Catera 3.0L V6

Car Displayed: 1999 Cadillac Catera 3.0L V6

The 1999 Cadillac Catera is a difficult car to maintain. You will need to remove multiple different fasteners and panels in order to replace the center brake light, which will be a time-consuming procedure. The engine air filter housing is cramped into the engine bay and difficult to lift out, which won’t allow for reliable filter changes. Replacing the battery may be a problem on account of the difficult reach you must make for the bracket.

However, the 1999 Cadillac Catera does have its upsides. The bulbs in both of the tail light housings are accessible behind single covers that remove without the use of tools, making for reliable bulb changes. The engine coolant reservoir is easy to access, which will make checking the fluid level or adding fluid a simple process. The oil filter and oil drain plug can be accessed without a problem when performing an oil change.
