2005 Cadillac DeVille Oil Pan Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the oil pan on 2005 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: To replace the Oil Pan, you should drain engine oil and remove front exhaust manifold pipe. Pull out the electrical connector of the engine oil level sensor and take the sensor out of the Oil Pan. Next, remove the Oil Pan bolts, remembering that the Oil Pan Gasket is reusable if not damaged, therefore make sure not to separate the Oil Pan Gasket from the groove in the Oil Pan unless you have to. Once you have taken off the Oil Pan, clean and inspect it. If it is necessary to change the Oil Pan seal, clean the groove for the seal of oil and then drive it into the groove of the pan from side to side. Postion the Oil Pan against the crankcase and then install the Oil Pan retaining bolts, tightening to 10 nm (89 inch lbs) in the sequence indicated. Install the engine oil level sensor into the Oil Pan and tighten it up to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). Attach the electrical connector to the engine oil level sensor and the front exhaust manifold pipe. Finally pour oil into the engine and check out for leaks after starting the engine.
