2001 Cadillac DeVille Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the engine oil and oil filter on 2001 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: Before changing engine oil and Oil Filter the vehicle requires lifting and proper support. Routine first step involves setting the oil drain pan underneath the engine oil Drain Plug before unplugging it. First clean and inspect the Drain Plug before possibly replacing it with a new one while also checking the Oil Pan sealing surface where needed you should fix any issues with the Oil Pan. The Oil Filter requires removal for inspection of the Oil Filter adapter sealing area before conducting needed repairs and replacements on this area. A technician should treat the new Oil Filter with engine oil and lightly coat the gasket with clean oil before installing it properly by turning it 3/4 to 1 full turn once the gasket touches the mounting surface. Putting the engine oil Drain Plug in position requires torque to reach 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). Begin by lowering the vehicle before adding new engine oil and finally check for leakages when the engine starts.
