HI all,
Just found this site this morning. I have not worked on a Cadillac since I sold my 1980 Eldorado a number of years ago, but my dad has a 1994 or 1995 (not sure which) Seville STS. I am visiting him this weekend and he has asked me to change the oil for him. As I won't visit again for about 4 months I want to make sure the car gets through the winter without problems.
I plan to change oil & filter, air & fuel filters, PCV valve and plugs. I have searched past posts & learned how to reset oil service light etc. But as I want to spend as little time working on the car as possible I have a few questions to ask in advance.
1) I've read these engines are sensitive to certain brands of spark plugs - what brand do you all recommend? (keep in mind where he lives I will be getting patrs from an Autozone or similar, not a dealer) & just to prepare me, how hard are the back plugs to access - any tips?
2) Is the fuel filter easy to find - such as under the driver seat?
3) Other than items listed above is there anything that I have missed - do these cars have anything else - for instance cabin air filters? He just had the radiator flushed several months ago so thats OK.
Thanks in advance for any help or tips.
