How many spark plugs does a Cadillac CTS have?
I’m trying to become self-sufficient and not rely on anyone for anything, including my 2019 Cadillac CTS. I’ve decided to live out the concept of rugged individualism to a T. So I gotta figure out how this engine works piece by piece if I’m gonna handle all the maintenance. How many spark plugs does a Cadillac CTS have?

The
Cadillac CTS
has either four spark plugs or six spark plugs, depending on the engine it has. A good rule of thumb to go by is that the number of spark plugs in your car directly matches the number of cylinders in your engine.So, for example, if your CTS has a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 268 horsepower under the hood, that means it has four spark plugs, one for each cylinder. However, if you’re the type that really likes to announce your presence so you drive the CTS with the 3.6-liter V6 engine and its 335 horsepower, that means your CTS has six spark plugs, one for each of the V6 engine’s cylinders.
And considering you’re taking over every aspect of your car’s care, you’ll need to know what a spark plug does. If you know already? Great. If not, we’ll explain—just in case. A spark plug provides a spark of electricity to ignite the combustion you’ll need to start your Cadillac. The bolt of electricity ignites the fuel mixture in your engine and puts your pistons in motion to get your car started.
