• Q: How to replace the Dipstick Tube for the LLT - Gas, 6 Cyl, 3.6L, Sidi, V6, Alum and the LP1, LY7 on 2008 Cadillac STS?

After you should pull down the engine splash shield until you can lower the vehicle.

Resemble the operations by placing the oil level indicator together with the tube inside the system followed by installing the engine splash shield then allowing the vehicle to lower before finally reattaching the front compartment sight shield. Owners of the lp1 and ly7 models must first cut the engine power and remove the sight shield from the front compartment before extracting both the level indicator and tube bolt. After lifting the vehicle you should detach the Knock Sensor together with the heat shield clip from the tube and return the vehicle to its normal position. Inspect the position of the secondary heat shield before you remove the oil level indicator tube via the Exhaust Manifold and dispose of the old seal if changing only the tube seal.
