2005 Cadillac SRX Oil Pan Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: Replacing an Oil Pan requires removing both the engine front cover and the power steering hose retainer from the A/C Compressor bracket and disconnecting the intermediate Steering Shaft. After removing the Engine Mount lower nuts securely maintain a/c pipes and hoses connections and adjust the A/C Compressor bracket bolts before setting it to the side. Remove all engine oil from the drainage hole before removing the transmission oil cooler pipe retainer from the right engine side. Position the engine support fixture in place before tightening all support fixture wing nuts to achieve Oil Pan clearance. Start by removing both the front differential carrier before performing the Oil Pan removal. Properly break down and clean the Oil Pan before making an inspection. Begin by installing the Oil Pan while afterward installing the front differential carrier when applicable. Lower the engine by loosening the engine support fixture wing nuts while you simultaneously join the engine mounts to the frame until you can remove the engine support fixture. The technician will integrate three procedure points in order: reattachment of the transmission oil cooler pipe retainer, new engine oil filling, and combination of A/C Compressor bracket installation with A/C Compressor. The last steps involve installing Engine Mount lower nuts while also connecting the intermediate Steering Shaft and attaching the power steering hose retainer to the A/C Compressor bracket before installing the engine front cover.
