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

  A: Replacing engine oil and Oil Filter requires raising the vehicle followed by supporting it. Place the engine oil drain pan beneath the Drain Plug then unscrew and remove the plug. First conduct cleanings and inspections of the Drain Plug before replacing it when necessary alongside assessment of the Oil Pan sealing surface to decide whether repair or replacement of the Oil Pan is required. The second step requires you to inspect the Oil Filter adapter's sealing area before repairing or exchanging it if required. A new Oil Filter requires filling with oil then receiving a small amount of clean oil on its gasket. Screw the new Oil Filter into place until it achieves 3/4 to 1 full turn after the mount makes contact with the adapter. The engine oil Drain Plug requires reinstallation which needs to be tightened to 20 nm (15 lb ft). Lower the vehicle while adding new engine oil which requires checking the fluid recommendations for the region. End the inspection process by examining the vehicle for any sign of oil leakage after engine start-up.
