  Q: How to replace the Dipstick Tube and oil level indicator on Cadillac XLR?

  A:

  Start the oil level indicator and tube replacement by disconnecting the oil level indicator and its bolt. Start by disconnecting the surge tank electrical connector of the fluid level indicator followed by removing its two nuts. Place the surge tank in a suitable position distinct from the master cylinder. The next task requires the master cylinder fluid level sensor electronic connector removal followed by master cylinder mounting nut extraction and relocation of the master cylinder from the Brake Booster area. The technician should raise the vehicle for support before removing the oil level indicator tube from the crankcase with counterclockwise rotation. Install the oil level indicator tube by replacing its o-ring followed by engine oil lubrication. The helper should guide the installation of the crankcase-mounted oil level indicator tube while the vehicle remains lowered. The left Cylinder Head requires installation of the oil level indicator tube bolt which must be tightened to 50 nm (37 inch lbs.). Secure the oil level indicator in its place by following installation of the Brake Master Cylinder at the Brake Booster. Tighten the master cylinder mounting nuts to 29 nm (21 ft. Lbs.). After that connect the electrical connector for the master cylinder fluid level sensor while also installing the coolant surge tank.
