Engine oil going to radiator is a cylinder head problem.
Either
1. Cylinder head gasket burnt
2. Cylinder head bolts not tight enough
3. Cylinder head cracked
4 Cylinder head warped.

Remove cyliner head and pressure test it for cracks. If cracked replace unless someone near you can repair effectively. If not then skim and you might as well do a complete cylinder head service ie valves, stem seals etc. Put back head with new gasket and torque correctly and be surprised with the results.

SOURCE: changing the thermostat 2000 cadillac deville

The pressure they work within is usualy information on your radiator cap or owners hand book.Your thermostat should be a 180 degree but can vary The 180 is in reference to the heat required to open them so water can flow through and be kept at a more or less constant 180.There are other temp ranges for a wide variety of applications and 180 is the standard one for most vehiclesThe radiaor and water system is pressurised to lower the boiling point of the water The higher the pressure the lower the boiling point

SOURCE: whath does "service engine soonmeans"

SERVICE ENGINE SOON and SERVICE ENGINE NOW are 2 amber warning lights pertaining to the vehicles computers.SERVICE SOON advises you of a problem, although not an emergency should be attended to promptly. Your technician can trace the problem by accessing fault codes through the climate control panel. SERVICE NOW indicates a more severe problem which will most likely precipitate a failure / breakdown. The CHANGE OIL LIGHT indicates by time and mileage is a separate light.

SOURCE: 1999 Cadillac Deville and the radiator fans are not coming on

you should check the fuse in the fuse boxe under the hood and find the radiator fan fuse
if the fuse is no longer good the little piece of metal will be cut in the middle so replace it with the same number if it's a 20 AMP do not put a 30 or a 15 AMP
if the fuse is good then there might be some problem with wires (could be cut) or the radiator fan motor is no longer good
you should have it check
Good luck

OIL IN COOLANT RESERVOIR 00 CADILLAC DEVILLE

Are you sure its oil? If you bought it used someone probably added Bars Leak or some other cooling system sealer which can appear as oil. Cadillac Northstar engines are well known for cooling system problems, and that is usually the first step people take. If it is oil that could indicate an intake manifold leak or a head gasket leak, although it usually results in coolant in the oil, not the other way around.

If my 1999 cadillac deville goes up to 232 degrees is it overheating?

Outside of radiator is most likely full of dirt,leaves,
bird feathers,etc.
Remove as many things as necessary, & use an air hose
followed by garden hose to clean radiator.

Could try a new thermostat & make sure spark plugs
& basic preventative maintenance is done

Change Power Steering,Trans & Motor Oils
Old fluids won't remove heat well

Why is my 2000 cadillac deville overheating but not smoking

I bought a 2000 caddy Deville off the side of the road, had a 800.00 sign on it, pullover to see it, a man came out and said he had it to four shops and they can't figure it out. gave 700.00 for it and had to tow it home., flushed radiator, heater core, and engine out, changed thermostat, checked water pump. this Northstar engine would over heat when driving it. Turned out to be the plastic cover underneith, it hooks to the front bumper and goes to the metal frame to block the wind. when it is missing, the wind blows in and back drafts the radiator so the fans can't do their job and cool the motor. a five dollar cover from the junkyard and it was fixed, crazy hu. I hope this helps someone.

My 2000 cadillac deville is running hot.the coolant is not getting to the motor.what is the probblem?

It's likely that the passageways in the engine and radiator are clogged up not allowing full flow of coolant to the motor.

Try to have it flushed and filled with new coolant.

Where is the themostat on 2000 cadillac deville

hi. On a 4.9L follow the upper radiator back to the engine. This should be the thermostat housing. The thermostat should be inside.
On a 4.6L the thermostate is in the housing which is near the water pump drivebelts "on the coolant crossover housing". If this is not clean I recommend you buy the Haynes for your DeVille. See page 3-4, illustration 3.14.

Where is the radiator drain plug on a 2000 cadillac deville

Drain plug should be on the drivers side of the radiator, lower back (towards the engine) When placing the drain plug on place use some oil on the O ring to ensure a good seal when tightening it back in place. Good luck and keep me posted.
