2009 Cadillac SRX Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Replace an Oil Filter and Engine Oil on 2009 Cadillac SRX?

  A: The Oil Filter cap needs removal using a six-point socket when the ignition is off while acknowledging normal oil discharge from the Oil Filter chamber within the housing adapter thus no replacement of the adapter is necessary. Begin by taking out the Oil Filter cartridge followed by lifting your vehicle while it maintains support. Use a proper drain receptacle beneath the oil pan Drain Plug then remove the Drain Plug to drain all the oil until completion. Start the installation by slotting in the oil pan Drain Plug together with its new o-ring seal then tighten to 20 nm (15 lb ft) before lowering the vehicle. Before you put the new Oil Filter into position lubricate its threads with clean engine oil because this action will both protect the hardware and make future filter removal less complicated. The six-point socket helps install the Oil Filter cap properly at 25 nm (18 lb ft) torque. Add the oil fill cap to the engine before filling it with the correct oil type using the recommended oil amount.
