How do you change oil in Cadillac CTS 2009?

Answer 1

1. Thanks to previous post, I did locate the oil filter canister next to the dipstick. It requires a 24mm socket (which I had to purchase as I did not have one that big).
2. Thanks to post on another site, I was informed to look for a plastic cowling at the bottom of the car that covers up the oil pan (and some other things).
3. I removed the cowling (4 10mm screws), located the oil pan (plug is 15mm) toward the midpoint of the vehicle. I drained the oil.
4. I removed the oil filter canister and placed the new one in. It snaps onto the pin on one end of the canister.
5. I replaced the oil plug and after attempting to put the cowling on backwards (which did not work) turned it around and it actually lined up pretty easily. I re-applied the 10mm screws.
6. I poured in 6 quarts of synthetic 5W30 oil in spout.
7. I reset the oil life indicator by way of page 5-22 and 3-51 in owner's manual. Press info button on dash until oil life display comes up then hold set/reset button more than 5 seconds.
8. Done
