Your car should have a dip stick that tells you where the oil level is. Use that to determine how much oil you need to add. Add 1 qt at a time until the oil appears on the dip stick, then add the oil slowly, checking the level until it is in the hash marks on the dip stick. If there is no dipstick, drain the oil and measure the oil using a gallon or quart containers and add the recommended amount. Remember there is already about 1 qt of oil in the filter.

SOURCE: overheating,eveything looks ok.

I have a 97 Cadillac Deville with a northstar engine and have replaced it twice so far, so i answer this by experience...i've noticed to my two prior engines that went bad that the normal temp should NOT EXCEED 228 (normal), the red overheating light will come on at 250 and at 260 it will beep and tell you to stop engine - idle engine and will begin to smoke (overheat).

I hope this helps you and anyone else...by the way if your asking why did i replace my engine twice is simply because my cadillac is super clean inside and out, immaculate condition.

SOURCE: hi my name is danny i have a 2004 cadillac deville

2004 Cadillac Deville holds 7.5 quarts (or 7.1 Liters) with a filter change.

as far as the check engine light goes u must have the system tested to determine the cause, there are over 200 faults that can cause the check ngine light to come on and each has a number like this example "P0174 bank 2 eng lean".

TRANSMISSION WONT GO INTO GEAR ON MY 2004 CADILLAC DEVILLE HOW MANY QUARTS DOES IT TAKE TO RE-FILL TRANSMISSION AFTER CHANGING OUT FILTERS

3 GALLONS is a lot,Are you sure it's not 3 quarts,which isn't enough. If it is gallons then drain it out because you going to damage the pump, if it is quarts then keep adding until it shows up on the dipstick at the bottom, then after it has been driven add as needed to get it to the full mark. ONLY use dexron fluid!!!!

Replace the license plate light bulb-'99 cad DeVille

Hello,

Please follow the instructions below carefully to change the bulbs in the licence plate of your cad deville;
1.All you have to do is put a flat blade screw driver on the right side of the bulb housing and gently push to the left. This will release the catch holding it in and it will drop out and down on the end of its wiring connector.

2.1/4 turn the bulb and remove. Replace the bulb and just put the housing back into the opening left side first, then just push up on the right side till you hear a click. Takes about 1 min per light. Works for all Deville types from 99-08

Good luck.

Think I may have overfilled my oil in my Cadillac Deville 98. What would be the symptoms, and is it fixable?

usually no immediate symtoms,but it can cause oil to get past the piston rings,causing it to smoke,and/or blow oil seals in the engine.how much over is it?the space on the dipstick between ADD & FULL is about 1 quart.if its overfull by a quart or more,drain some out,or take it in for an oil change.they'll drain it all and fill it properly.
