2000 Cadillac Eldorado Oil Pan Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the oil pan on 2000 Cadillac Eldorado?

  A: Start your Oil Pan service and repair operation by emptying the engine oil. Take out the transaxle assembly and exhaust crossover pipe as a first step. Check your engine oil then remove each bolt securing the Oil Pan while understanding that the gasket remains usable unless it shows signs of damage. Keep the gasket inside the Oil Pan groove unless absolutely needed. Clean the Oil Pan while you remove it from the vehicle during your inspection. The process to install new Oil Pan seals includes cleaning the seal groove from remaining oil before working the seal into both directions of the pan groove. Lay the Oil Pan into the crankcase position before tightening retaining bolts to 10 nm (89 inch lbs.) according to the specified order. After completion install the exhaust crossover and the transaxle assembly before adding new engine oil.
