2007 Cadillac XLR Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Dipstick Tube and oil level indicator on 2007 Cadillac XLR?

  A: The procedure starts with the removal of the oil level indicator and its attached oil level indicator tube bolt. The electrical connector of the coolant surge tank fluid level indicator requires removal before securing the surge tank with new nuts while moving it beyond reach of the Brake Master Cylinder. Secondly disconnect the master cylinder fluid level sensor electrical connector before you unscrew the master cylinder mounting nuts to move the master cylinder out of the way of the Brake Booster. A technician should elevate the vehicle while extracting the oil level indicator tube from the crankcase while rotating it to the counterclockwise position. The installation process requires installation of the new o-ring onto the oil level indicator tube followed by oil lubrication. The oil level indicator tube requires assistance for installation into the crankcase before lowering the vehicle. The oil level indicator tube bolt must get installed into the left Cylinder Head where torque should be set at 50 n.m (37 lb in). At last install the Brake Master Cylinder to the Brake Booster position before securing the master cylinder mounting nuts with 29 n.m (21 lb ft) torque. The master cylinder fluid level sensor electrical connector needs connection before fitting the coolant surge tank.
