2008 Cadillac CTS Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the engine oil and oil filter on 2008 Cadillac CTS?

  A: Pathway to undertake engine Oil Filter replacement begins with off engine ignition followed by necessary removal of front sight shield. The 6-point socket allows the removal of the Oil Filter cap yet oil drainage from the Oil Filter chamber through the adapter housing is normal thus no replacement of the adapter is needed. Following Oil Filter cartridge removal you should elevate and sustain the vehicle. The operator must place a proper drain underneath the oil pan Drain Plug before removing this component to completely drain all oil. Fitting the oil pan Drain Plug requires a new o-ring seal which needs to be tightened to 20 n.m (15 lb ft). Install the new Oil Filter cartridge on the lower part of the vehicle and apply clean engine oil to the threads before tightening to avoid damage. Apply a 6-point socket to install the Oil Filter cap and secure it by tightening to 25 n.m (18 lb in). After installation of the oil fill cap proceed with filling the engine with the correct oil type and correct quantity. Complete the installation by putting back the front compartment sight shield if required.
