How to Install a 1994 Cadillac Eldorado Oil Pump

The Eldorado was a line of luxury cars made by Cadillac from 1953 to 2002. The 1994 model is an eighth generation Eldorado, which includes the 1992 through 2002 models. This vehicle has an oil pump that circulates oil throughout the engine to provide lubrication to the moving parts. The only engine choice for a 1994 Cadillac Eldorado is an 8-cylinder 4.6-liter Northstar engine. The oil pump for this engine is attached to the front of the crankcase, and is accessible from the engine compartment.

Instructions

    3

    Loosen the three bolts that connect the oil pump to the engine with a socket wrench. Remove the oil pump and its spacer from the engine.

    4

    5

    Connect the front cover for the oil pump to the engine with the retaining screws. Tighten the screws with a socket wrench. Start the engine and check for oil leaks.
