2007 Cadillac CTS Oil Pan Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the oil pan on 2007 Cadillac CTS?

  A: The procedure starts by taking off the engine front cover before removing the power steering hose retainer from the A/C Compressor bracket followed by intermediate Steering Shaft disconnection. Afterwards disconnect the lower nuts from the Engine Mount while preserving the a/c pipes and hoses connection. Following the removal of this step you must relocate the A/C Compressor bracket bolts to the side before draining the engine oil and eliminating the transmission oil cooler pipe retainer found on the engine's right side. The engine support fixture installation requires tightened wing nuts to achieve sufficient clearance for the Oil Pan before you remove the drainage process can begin. Disassembly and cleaning and analysis of the Oil Pan should be done when required. Install the Oil Pan following assembly then position it into its slot before lowering the engine and connecting frame mounts through engine support fixture wing nut loosening. Reinstall the transmission oil cooler pipe retainer after filling the engine with new oil before installing the A/C Compressor bracket and A/C Compressor. When finished installing you should begin by adding Engine Mount lower nuts then reconnect the intermediate Steering Shaft followed by attaching the power steering hose retainer to the A/C Compressor bracket before reinstalling the engine front cover.
