2008 Cadillac SRX Oil Pan Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the oil pan on 2008 Cadillac SRX?

  A: Replacing the Oil Pan starts with removing the engine front cover before the power steering hose retainer from the A/C Compressor bracket and disconnecting the intermediate Steering Shaft. The installation process begins with taking out the Engine Mount lower nuts but you must keep the a/c pipes and hoses connected. First unscrew the two A/C Compressor bracket bolts to set the compressor bracket aside while draining engine oil from within the pan. Install the engine support fixture on the engine's right side while tightening the support fixture wing nuts until enough space opens up for the Oil Pan's replacement. The front differential carrier requires removal only when present. You should then remove the Oil Pan followed by its necessary disassembly for cleaning and visual inspection. When installing the Oil Pan, you must first assemble it according to requirements before installing it with any necessary differential carrier if your model type includes this component. The gearbox oil cooler pipe retainer and engine support fixture must be removed after loosely adjusting the support artifact wing nuts to enable Engine Mount attachment to the chassis frame. Before installing the ac compressor bracket, fit your vehicle's engine with new engine oil and make sure to torque the Engine Mount lower nuts. First connect the intermediate Steering Shaft then install the power steering hose retainer onto the A/C Compressor bracket before setting the engine front cover back in place.
