2009 Cadillac DTS Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the engine oil and oil filter on 2009 Cadillac DTS?

  A: The first step to replace engine oil and Oil Filter begins with raising the vehicle and supporting it. Put the oil drain pan under the engine oil Drain Plug before removing the plug. The Drain Plug requires cleaning as well as inspection before new replacement and the Oil Pan sealing surface must be checked for damage so the pan may get replaced if damaged. Remove the Oil Filter and prepare its sealing area around the adapter by either maintenance or replacement. The new Oil Filter needs oil filling prior to application while gently smearing clean oil on the installed gasket. Instal the new Oil Filter by tightening it to 3/4 to 1 full turn while the gasket stands against the mounting surface. Secure the Drain Plug of the engine oil by applying 20 nm (15 lb ft) of torque. Proper engine oil level must be maintained while lowering the vehicle after installing a new engine oil according to specified fluid capacities and preferred lubricants. Verify that no oil leaks exist when the engine begins to run.
