2008 Cadillac DTS Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: You should first raise and support the vehicle for engine oil and Oil Filter replacement tasks. Place the drain pan under the engine oil Drain Plug before unplugging it. Drain plug maintenance includes cleaning it and inspecting for damage which requires replacement when needed. The Oil Pan surface must also be cleaned while checking for any damage to determine whether the Oil Pan needs replacement. Then remove the Oil Filter and prepare the Oil Filter adapter sealing area by cleaning it before undertaking repairs or filter adapter replacement. Apply clean oil to the gasket and put sufficient oil inside the new filter before mounting the filter to its place with 3/4 to 1 complete turn when the gasket touches the mounting surface. Next install the Drain Plug for engine oil while torquing it to 20 n.m (15 lb ft). Lower the vehicle while filling the engine with new motor oil according to recommended capacities and lubricant specifications. You should examine for oil leakage following engine start-up.
