Introdução
The Cadillac Northstar V8 is widely known to consume more oil than most engines—as much as a quart every 1,000 miles. Though you may be adding new oil fairly frequently, it's important that you still change your engine oil and filter every 3,000-5,000 miles, depending on your driving conditions.
Cadillac (as well as many automotive experts) strongly discourage the use of any oil additives, even those that claim to decrease oil consumption.
O que você precisa
-
-
Place a jack underneath the frame near the passenger side front wheel.
-
Raise the car with the jack until you can work comfortably under the car.
-
Place a jack stand on the frame immediately behind the jack.
-
Slowly lower the jack until the car is resting on the jack stand and remove the jack.
-
-
-
Locate the oil drain plug along the side of the oil pan. It is a 14 mm hex bolt that faces towards the driver side of the car.
-
Place an oil drain pan under the oil drain plug to catch the old oil.
-
Use a 14 mm box end wrench to loosen the drain plug until you can turn it by hand.
-
-
-
Continue to loosen the drain plug by hand until it comes free and oil begins to drain.
-
While the oil is draining, wipe off the drain plug with a clean rag or towel.
-
Remove the old drain plug gasket and replace it with a new one. Be sure that the new gasket fits over the threads of the drain plug.
-
-
-
The oil filter is located right next to the oil pan underneath the car.
-
Loosen the oil filter by turning it counter-clockwise with your hand or an oil filter wrench.
-
Once the filter comes off, place it with the open end facing down in the oil drain pan to allow the oil to drain out of it.
-
-
-
-
Place a funnel into the oil filler hole.
-
Pour 5 quarts of 5W-30 or 10W-30 oil into the funnel.
-
Reinstall the oil filler cap and tighten it by turning it clockwise until it is snug.
-
-
-
Allow 12-24 hours for all of the oil to drain out of the old oil filter.
-
Take your old oil and filter to a recycling facility. Most auto parts stores and repair shops accept these at no charge to you. In addition, some cities and/or counties have a service where they will collect used oil and filters from your home. For more information, see the American Petroleum Institute's web page on used motor oil collection and recycling.
