• Q: How to replace the Dipstick Tube on 2009 Cadillac XLR?

  A: Start your repair of the oil level indicator and tube by first taking off the oil level indicator combined with the oil level indicator tube bolt and then unplug the coolant surge tank fluid level indicator electrical connector. Disassemble the surge tank by removing its nuts before relocating it towards the Brake Master Cylinder. The maintenance process includes breaking the connection of the master cylinder fluid level sensor electrical connector while removing the mounting nuts to move the master cylinder away from the Brake Booster. A suitable lifting method must be used before raising and supporting the vehicle. Extract the crankcase oil level indicator tube by turning it counterclockwise during rotation. The installation requires replacement of the o-ring on the oil level indicator tube followed by engine oil lubrication. Help with tube insertion into the crankcase before the vehicle descent. The left Cylinder Head requires an installation of the oil level indicator tube bolt which must be torqued to 50 nm (37 lb in) prior to putting on the indicator itself. Place the Brake Master Cylinder onto the Brake Booster before installing its mounting nuts with 29 nm (21 lb ft) torque and attach the electrical connector for fluid level sensor detection. As the final step install the coolant surge tank.
