• Q: How to replace the oil pan on 2004 Cadillac Seville?

  A: The beginning of Oil Pan replacement starts by emptying engine oil from the vehicle followed by removing the front exhaust manifold pipe. Begin by disconnecting the engine oil level sensor electrical connector from its location then remove the sensor from the Oil Pan. First disconnect all Oil Pan bolts maintaining that the Oil Pan Gasket is reusable but you should not remove it from the Oil Pan groove unless there is damage. Next you require removing the Oil Pan before carrying out cleaning and inspection procedures. You should wipe out remaining oil from the tap groove before putting the new seal inside the pan groove and rotating it clockwise and counterclockwise at the pan's circumference. Install the Oil Pan to fit the crankcase then tighten 10 nm (89 inch lbs.) retaining bolts in the prescribed installation sequence. Mount the engine oil level sensor within the Oil Pan space while applying torque at 20nm (15 ft. Lbs.) before joining the electrical connector to the sensor. Replace the front exhaust manifold pipe while filling the engine with oil and inspect for leaks after starting the engine.
