2010 Cadillac DTS Oil Pan Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the oil pan on 2010 Cadillac DTS?

  A: Engine oil replacement starts by emptying oil from the Oil Pan. Start by unfastening the front exhaust manifold pipe followed by disconnecting the engine harness electrical connector from the oil level sensor. Very first loosen the Oil Pan bolts before totally removing the Oil Pan and throwing out the existing gasket. The pan needs cleaning followed by an inspection. Layer a continuous bead of rtv sealant into the Oil Pan seal groove so that it reaches at least 3 mm (0.118 in) above the Oil Pan sealing surface. One en 46109 should be placed into each of the lower crankcase bolt holes for preventing shifting. Slide the Oil Pan into position against the lower crankcase while you begin installing the Oil Pan bolts with your fingers. Start with 8 nm (71 lb in) torque followed by increasing it to 12 nm (106 lb in) for the final step. Plug in the engine harness electrical connector to the oil level sensor after reinstalling the front exhaust manifold pipe. Then refill the engine with oil.
